- Bonefish Grill
Bonefish Grill started in 2000 with a restaurant in St. Petersburg. Twelve years later, things are going pretty well. Locations have expanded out across the state, region, and now country. Bonefish is not the average corporate dinner fare. The menu is constantly expanding, and now they are testing the wine waters.
As someone who is new to wine, shelling out precious dollars for a strange glass of grape juice is a little intimidating. Fear not, Bonefish is offering a Thursday wine menu serving more than 20 half-glasses of wines through July 12. All the glasses range from $2-$4 each. Few restaurants offer a half-glass of wine, especially one this fairly priced. This is a great way to try new wines without worrying about having to finish an entire glass (like that's a problem) or an entire bottle of the same wine.
Foregoing typical wine-gargon on the menu, each wine is paired with a style of music. The Penfolds RED Koonunga Hill Shiraz is paired with surf pop and a portion of the proceeds go the (RED) charity program.
The William Hill Chardonnay is described as jazz or blues, and a portion of the proceeds benefit VH1's Save the Music program.
So sip a glass of wine, listen to some music, and help save the world a little.
