It’s Wednesday Night and You’re Bored

0

It’s Hump Day and you have managed to maintain your composure thus far. Although you really wanted to choke a co-worker, go postal on your postman and try out your son’s new paintball marker on the idiot who just cut you off, but you didn’t. My friend, you are about to be heftily rewarded!

Your favorite wine bar (ahem, that IS Amazing Grapes, right?) has been showcasing LIVE MUSIC on Wednesday evenings! Not only do we feature live music performed by local musicians (and occasionally, our very own employees like “Mandy Baker” and yours truly), but we’ve chosen a special flight of three wines to accompany your entertainment. Those 3-wine flight is a mere $10, which leaves plenty of pesos in your pocket to sample some of Chef Gerri’s latest creations. And the best part – nearly every delectable item on our food menu is under $10!

Wednesday evenings are generally less crowded at Amazing Grapes. Your talented, friendly and knowledgeable servers have more time to get to know you and become familiar with your wine palate, which gives you major street cred when you’re trying to impress your date!

So what’s stopping you from hanging out with us at Amazing Grapes on a Wednesday? Unless you got busted for unloading that cartridge of paint balls on someone… let’s hope a few wine samples puts that road rage in check!

Bottom line: Amazing Grapes is where it’s at on a Wednesday . . . and Thursdays through Saturdays are THE place to be, too.

Cheers and we hope to see you soon!
