"A wine bar hosting themed events like the 'Ugly Sweater Wine Class' with prizes for the ugliest sweater." - Emily Venezky
"This well-appointed, midcentury modern bar from the owners of nearby Barrel does a lot in a tiny space. The wine list guides customers by familiar tastes, including recommendations from Austria, Argentina, or Greece, “If you like Chilled Reds.” Casual bar bites include pimento cheese dip, charcuterie like a “gin and juice lamb salami,” and tuna tartare in an orange ginger glaze." - Emily Venezky
"For those who’d like a lesson while sipping a beverage, the Eastern is offering a French wine class for $50 per person. Starting at 1 p.m., a sommelier will lead the tasting and snacks will be provided from the restaurant. Snag tickets here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
