Wine Week

If you're looking for straight-up fun, as opposed to a sampling of the rare be sure to check out Wine Week. The general idea is that the Smith & Wollensky, Cite, etceteras chain will serve 10 wines for ten dollars at lunch (creating the caveat that participation is contingent on the abillity to take off half a day of work.)
The bottles served are not Mouton Rothschild, but they are not Mouton Cadet either. Likewise, the steak is not Peter Luger's, but it sure ain't Tad's. The concept of steak versus haute cuisine is a perfect metaphor; how apropos! I am not the biggest fan of New World wines which are prevalent on their lists, but there is a time to put snobbery aside, and simply enjoy. The promotion is perfect for a large group to enjoy a good ol' fashioned night of eating red meat and gettin' sloshed... Think of it as Sizzler gone, very, very upscale!
