You can’t live in New England without having at least some affinity for the cranberry. If you’ve got more than that, head to Bambara (25 Edwin Land Boulevard) on October 30, at 7 pm, for a cranberry-themed wine dinner. The five-course menu includes dishes like cranberry-glazed Australian sea bass, and cranberry bread pudding with toasted hazelnut ice cream. The cost is $45, including paired wines; call 617.868.444 for reservations and information.
