It's a Thursday night, Will & Grace is over, and Grey's Anatomy is on repeat thanks to the writer's strike. So, why not kick back and pour on the wine. The Lake Norman Wine Meetup Group says it's about time for a Wine Tasting. Learn the ins and outs of the grape and how its fermented goodness blooms into a beautiful bouquet. Taste and work your way from the nose, down to the legs and back. Chew the fat (artisan cheese, actually) with a local sommelier. There's also a band scheduled. 7 p.m. $15. Say Cheese @ The Grapevine, 129 Williamson Rd., Mooresville, N.C. www.lknwinegroup.com.
