It seems the winter chill has finally reached our fair city, and if a childhood of Looney Tunes-watching has taught me any lasting lessons, it’s that a Saint Bernard with a little barrel around his neck will mix you a martini when you’re lost in the cold. We’ll assume two things: 1) He does this because the martini would warm you up, and 2) any sort of alcohol will do the trick.
Based on those unfounded assumptions, we think you ought to head to the Grape this evening, where they’re hosting the second of their “Get Your Wine on Wednesdays” this month. Here’s the rub: Guest host (and champagne specialist) Loni Heyn is stopping by to pick out five sparkling wines, which will be paired with hors d’oeuvres for your palate’s pleasure. It’s only $25 a pop, and if you stick around for dinner, the Grape will gladly shave 15 percent off your food tab.
That sounds like the perfect, grown-up evening to me, but if you’ll have kids in tow tonight, take the jump for other options.
Might I suggest heading with the little ones to NorthPark Center? While you’re there, you can drop in for a photo with Santa, adopt a new best friend, or check out the toy-train exhibit that features 1,600 feet of winding track. And maybe — maybe — you can get a bit of early holiday shopping done.
