nnually, during the first Friday of February, a crowd gathers at the Susanville Elks Lodge for A Taste of Beef, A Sip of Wine, which is in its 26th year. People enjoy hand-selected premium wines and mouth-watering beef hors d’oeuvres at the event presented by Lassen County CattleWomen and Cattlemen. Representatives from local grocery stores pour some of their best selections, and the Cattlemen serve wine brought in from Napa Valley. In addition to fine wine, event-goers will find a wide array of delicious beef appetizers, prepared by the CattleWomen. To keep the hors d’oeuvres fresh and exciting, the CattleWomen host a Cow-A-Bunga contest in November where members compete to create a new beef hors d’oeuvre to be served at the event.
