The Carson Nugget Steakhouse will host a fundraiser for cancer research on June 28.
The $75 event will feature a raffle drawing for a private wine pairing dinner for eight with the proceeds going to the Relay for Life Foundation. Other prizes include slot machines and golf packages.
The dinner, which starts at 5 p.m., will feature the J. Lohr Winery.
Executive Chef Nick DeMagistris will pair the wine with a seven-course meal, including pan seared venison medallion and a marinated and oven roasted New Zealand rack of lamb.
