20th Anniversary Celebration.

Visit jambajuice.com for a full list of locations.
Tuesday, April 13: New Port Richey Public Library
Meet Author Andy Huse. The Tampa archivist and personal historian of the Columbia Restaurant hosts tonight's Spanish-style dinner. $10. 5:30 p.m., 5939 Main St., New Port Richey (727-853-1279)

Tuesday, April 13: 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 14: Cafe Dufrain
Wine Tasting. Nothing in life is free, especially when you're talking about the world of cuisine, where you pay for every extra, add-on and side of sour cream. Except at tonight's tasting, where you can sample a selection of wines from Cafe Dufrain's impressive line-up for free. That's right: gratis, nil, nada, zip. A deal like this comes along so rarely, it's even worth missing the American Idol results show. Free. 6-7:30 p.m., 707 Harbour Post Drive, Tampa (813-275-9701)
