NAME THAT WINE!
We're in Week 7 of 8 weeks of fun with wine in a bag! From bar open to bar close you can have a taste of a single varietal red wine. Guess the grape and we'll knock $5 off your bar tab! And we'll all be very impressed with you!

NO-CORKAGE WEDNESDAY
Enjoy a bottle in the bar at the retail price! This week, we recommend: Giant Steps Pinot Noir ~ Australia is generally more associated with the hotter weather grape of Shiraz, but areas of Australia, especially in Victoria, produce beautiful, high-end Pinot Noir. Check out this single-vineyard production Giant Steps, located in the Yarra Valley. And, at the retail price, that's < $8/glass. Crazy, we know!
 Saturday, May 18th
