Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 7:01 AM
Fortunately, this week it seems like the events fell in a nicely consistent chronological order. So for your ease of scheduling, I'll present them in the same way. Please turn in your Daytimer to hymn No. 287, oops, I mean tonight.
Tonight
Kicking off the weekend's festivities is the next edition of Midtown Wine and Spirits successful Friday Night Wines at The Bound'ry series. Midtown invites you to join them at the Bound'ry, 911 20th Ave. S., for a tasting of different wines each week. This Friday they have four different and delicious wines from two different wineries — Emmolo and Victor Hugo — located in Napa Valley and Paso Robles, respectively.
They’ll be tasting:
Emmolo Sauvignon Blanc
Emmolo Merlot
Victor Hugo "Hunchback" Red
Victor Hugo "Opulence" Red
It's $20 per person (plus tax and gratuity), with appetizers included. Call The Bound'ry at (615) 321-3043 to reserve your seats for the tasting which runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. tonight.
Monday
Whole Foods and The Belcourt present Wine, Food and Film this Monday, Feb. 6.
Join them starting at 5:30 p.m. for delicious samplings from Whole Foods Market's catering offerings, and they'll pour red and white wine for you to enjoy with your small plates. At 7, pick your movie: My Week With Marilyn or Shame.
Purchase your Wine, Food & Film tickets in advance for $20 for Belcourt members and $25 for nonmembers. If you procrastinate, tickets are $5 more on the day of the party. But since you’re now marking it on your calendar, there’s really no reason for that.
