Wednesday, January 20: 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.

Friday, January 22: The Anchor Bar
AB Wine Tasting. Even though it sounds like it might be a hangout for Popeye or Cap'n Jack Sparrow, the Anchor Bar is classing it up with tonight's wine tasting, accompanied by complimentary hors d'oeuvres. That trumps a bottle of rum, yo ho. Free. 6 p.m., 304 E. Davis Blvd., Tampa (813-489-4573)
