This week, forget the laundry, taxes, and even the family, because food is more pressing. Wednesday night Fromage to Yours [2] throws "A Spirit Cheese Tasting." The last time the Centennial-based shop hosted this indoor food fair of local artisans, including MouCo [3] and Haystack Mountain [4], appetizer gurus Primo [5] and 34 Degrees [6], and even dessert mavens Rocky Mountain Rustic Foods [7], the cost was $25. But tomorrow's gathering, which features a talk by local distiller Todd Leopold [8], is only $10. Then Thursday evening, make a date for Tambien Cantina [9]'s annual mezcal dinner ($75). Once a year, chef Sean Yontz (of both Tambien and Colfax's Mezcal [10]) pulls his best bottles of the agave liquor off the shelves and pairs them with a multicourse meal. This year, Yontz has assigned out each of the courses to a guest chef. Dave Query (owner of Big Red F [11] restaurant group) serves roasted scallops, Lola [12]'s chef Jamey Fader will be making a chocolate duck sope, and Yontz' brother Cy Yontz, of The Rio Grill [13] in Carmel, California, is preparing crisp pork shank. Each course is paired with a different pour of the smooth, Oaxaca-made Scorpion Mezcal. A Spirit Cheese Tasting, Curtis Ballroom, Comedy Works at the Landmark, 5345 Landmark Place, Greenwood Village Scorpion Mezcal Dinner, Tambien Cantina, 250 Steele St., 303-333-1763
