EAT THIS
Restaurants nominated for the RAMMY Wine Program of the Year are hosting a number of special events today to showcase their wine. At The Curious Grape, all wines in the retail store will be 20 percent off from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and in the restaurant and bar, wine by the glass and half-glass will also be 20 percent off from 4 to 9 p.m. At Ripple, get half off more than 50 different wines by the glass all night long and enjoy complimentary cheese pairings. Meanwhile, 2941 Restaurant is hosting a “Bottle Battle,” a 5-course tasting menu that includes two opposing pairings for each course (old world vs. new world, creative vs. classic). The dinner is $90 per person. Get more info about all the restaurants’ deals and offerings here. (Jessica Sidman)
