Awesome Summer Specials from DiWine

DiWine is never short on coming up with new and interesting ideas to keep things fresh.  Their summer fun weekday and weekend specials sound lovely and have definitely piqued my interests.  Between a brunch music series to discounted specialty drinks and a Chef's Table program, it all sounds fantastic and worthy of exploring.  Here's some more information about each of these fun happs:

Brunch, Unplugged - Come by and have a listen to local, talented guitarist, Richard Padron as he performs at brunch every week starting on June 25th at noon.  In addition to the music, enjoy a hefty $15 prix-fixe brunch and even unlimited drinks for an extra $7 to boot! 

Daily Cocktail Specials - I love that on every day of the week (even on weekends) you can enjoy a discounted specialty cocktail, such as a $6 Marie le Poire on Sundays, a $5 Ginger Tennessee on Fridays, a $5 Pink Panther Caipirinha on Tuesdays and more.

Chef's Table Tuesdays - Get up close and personal with DiWine's Chef, Joe Fusco and learn professional cooking techniques by asking questions and getting a prime kitchen-side seat alongside all the action.  Each course you order is only $10 and what's even better is that you'll walk out knowing how to recreate it at home.

Enjoy these cool summer specials and let me know your candid thoughts about them.

DiWine - Uncorking New Things

Image by www.diwineonline.com

New and exciting things are happening at DiWine, wine bar and lounge.  The space offers a sexy and modern atmosphere for weeknight drinks or even weekend brunch.  I've been there before with friends and while it's suitable for a group of girlfriends, it's also a nice venue for a date or a special occasion.  While I think the food is sometimes forgettable, the wine and creative cocktails speak for themselves. Here are their new additions - enjoy!

Cocktails and Wine - The Tangerine Mojito is back along with other fun options like the Peanut Butter Cup martini with peanut-infused vodka and the Bacon Mary with bacon-infused vodka.  Watch out bacon fans - this one will put you over the edge!  

White wine lovers will enjoy a heftier offering this spring, with more choices by the glass and bottle.

Free Wine Tastings with a Twist - Each wine tasting will now also include free hors d'oeuvres.  Tastings take place on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. - you can drop in on your own or bring friends.  Everyone is welcome.

Brunch is Back - While the details of when brunch will return are still sketchy, they'll offer the same $13 prix-fixe as before with a few enhancements.  Your stiff drink fix will be met with 1 mimosa, bloody mary, bellini or screwdriver, which comes with the prix-fixe.  And for an extra $6 you can drink all-you-want.

Enjoy these fun specials and let me know how you liked your experience.  Feedback is always appreciated!
