Would you like some wine with that cheese?
Hump Day isn’t just for humping anymore — it’s for drinking wine. Apparently Wednesday has been declared wine day, at least in regards to drink specials at wine bars. And in this economy even vino is better on clearance.
The “Wino Wednesday” selection includes …
The Wine Loft, which recently uncorked in SouthEnd and Moorseville, offers free wine tastings on Wine Down Wednesday.
Corkscrew in Birkdale Village has Wine-O-the-Week Wednesday (and on April 30 they’re having an Ed Hardy Party).
Arooji’s Wine Room has wine tastings at their SouthPark location.
RuSan’s and 300 East offer 50 percent off bottles.
The Grape in Northlake Mall and SouthPark hosts Wednesday Grape Crush from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. where they offer complimentary appetizers to compliment your wine.
Vintage Wine Cellar is having their two-year anniversary party next Wednesday.
And this Saturday is Rockhouse Events’ Rockin&Ragin Winery Tour to Elkin Creek Vineyard and Round Peak Vineyard.
And Dolce Vita is home to a Habitat Young Professionals Charity tasting next Wednesday.
Meanwhile, last night it was Wine and Wii night at Pop Life at Apostrophe Lounge.
Other good wine bars … Press, Wine Up in NoDa, PJ’s in the EpiCentre, Dolcetta Wine Room, The Wine Vault in University, Dean & Deluca in Phillip’s Place, Ratcliffe on the Green, and Under the Grape in Ballantyne.
