The Best Way to Be Out to Lunch: Wine Specials at Smith & Wollensky


Lots of special occasions to note this week, and Earth Day on Thursday is just one of them.

Tomorrow, FYI, is Administrative Professionals Day.

And whether you're doing the administrating or you're on the receiving end of it, you are officially encouraged to mark the occasion.

With lunch, say.

Especially when lunch includes a special deal on some very special bottles of wine.

Smith & Wollensky, for example, is opening their doors for lunch tomorrow -- something they do not normally do -- and they're opening their wine list as well to these two featured wines:

2003 Westport Rivers Brut "RJR" at $10 by the glass or $39 by the bottle, and

J. Lohr Cypress Vineyards (Chard, Cab, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot) at $8 a glass or $39 a bottle.

Our advice?

Start with the Westport Rivers sparkler, because what's a special occasion without a flute and a toast?

Then move on to J. Lohr with your meal, whether that's the tenderloin steak sandwich or an entree salad or or or.

Then kick back. It's your day, after all.
