Love it when a local shop throws a wrench into the usual run of things.
Take Blanchards in West Roxbury.
They've decided to have a grand tasting, which is not so unusual.
The unusual thing is that they've decided to do it TONIGHT.
Mid-week.
On your way home.
Tasting -- think Shafer, Caymus, etc -- is free.
Purchases are not, but they are 20% off regular price.
Sounds like it's time to follow suit and throw a wrench into your own usual run of Wednesday-evening things.
WHAT: Grand Wine Tasting
WHERE: Blanchards, 418 LaGrange Street, West Roxbury
WHEN: TONIGHT from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
COST: $0
DAILY TIDBIT:
"American consumers' right to order wine from out-of-state producers and have it shipped to their homes is again under siege, this time in the form of a bill introduced in the US House of Representatives that could end direct shipping of wine, beer and spirits in America and prevent the filing of lawsuits that have previously been successful in overturning discriminatory state laws regarding direct shipping."
