Wednesdays: FREE Wine And Vodka Tasting In Brooklyn

I am used to drinking cheap wine.  As a broke ass person, I have developed a taste for the ‘˜young’, the ‘˜unheard of’, ‘˜unwanted’ and ‘˜fell-off-the-back-of-a-truck’ vintages.  So what a religious experience when I get to taste some truly delicious wines, for FREE!  Every Wednesday night from 6-9 pm head
