I thought we were done with summer! The past few days have been unusually warm---let's cross our fingers for some of that nice 60-degree weather with the turning of the leaves this weekend. And speaking of the weekend, check out these events:
October 17: Green and Blue Wine and Cheese Party. Okay, so maybe you don't care for---or can't afford---high-end fashion. But with a few drinks in you and 20 percent off everything in the store, perhaps buying that Cynthia Steffe dress will be worth it. 4-8pm. Green and Blue (1350 Connecticut Ave. NW) in Dupont Circle. Free. www.greenandbluestyle.com.
October 18: Wines of Southwestern France. DC's Cork Wine Bar is hot, hot, hot. And complimentary wine tastings are rare in the city. Don't miss it. Cork Wine Bar (1720 14th Street NW) in Logan Circle. Free. RSVP to info@corkdc.com. www.corkdc.com.
October 18: Awesome Wines of Australia. The staff at Corridor have put together reds and whites from the land Down Under--and it's free for shoppers. Now that'll make you say "G'day, mate." 12-6pm. Corridor Wine in Laurel, Maryland. Free. www.corridorwine.com.
October 18-19: Free Wine Tent Festival. Over 50 wines from California to Australia will be available to taste for free. You can get seriously drunk here for no money at all. In this bad economy, it could be worth it to trek out to McLean. 12-4pm. Cecile's Wine Cellar (1351 Chain Bridge Rd.) in McLean, Virginia. www.finewine.com.
