Tuesday, April 6: Somme Wine and Martini Bar
10-10 Tuesdays. I know it’s not even the middle of the week yet, but instead of watching Jeopardy or another rerun of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, get outta the house tonight for one of the best bar deals I’ve seen, well, maybe ever: get $10 bottles of bubbly or wine every Tuesday at Somme. You’ll select from a special 10-bottle wine list culled from their impressive line-up, and you can enjoy the finally-warm Florida weather on the newly-opened patio, too. 5:30-11 p.m., 13030 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa (813-990-0797)
Wednesday, April 7: The NoHo Bistro
Wine Wednesdays. The wine and tapas change weekly, so come back regularly and bring your BFFs, blind dates, co-workers, boy/girlfriends or, hell, someone else’s boyfriend. $15 for two glasses of wine paired with two tapas. 1714 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa (813-514-0691)
Wednesday, March 31: Bern’s Fine Wines and Spirits
Potluck Wednesday. Beat the mid-week dinner blahs by stopping by for gourmet take-away — and enjoy a complimentary mini-wine tasting while you wait. This week’s one-pot wonder is a Spring Risotto with English peas, asparagus and fava beans. $19.95. 5-8 p.m., 1002 S. Howard Ave., Tampa (813-250-9463)
Thursday, April 8: Savannah's Cafe
Lee Brothers Dinner. These culinary whiz kids are the wonder twins of Southern cuisine, and tonight you can dine with the Brothers Lee while Chef Sal Merola cooks up a four-course menu of delectable recipes from their new book Simple Fresh Southern. Visit savannahsstpete.com for more info. $45. 6 p.m., Savannah's Cafe, St. Petersburg (727-388-4371)
