Cheap, Easy, and Fun

Spec's Monthly Wine Tasting Event. For those unaware - Spec's is a grocery store sized liquor store with several locations all around Austin. All locations have a once a month Wine Tasting Event. The Brodie Lane location has there the first Tuesday of every month which Jen and I attended.

For only $10 you get a Riedel wine glass and a ticket for tastings of 20 different wines.  You get a punch card and head around the store to 10 different locations designated with number, balloons, and kiosk with wine distributor. They give you quick info on the wines and pour you a wine tasting. Also, throughout the store there are several food/snack kiosks setup for samples. I remember a salsa kiosk, pecan pie kiosk, several cheese stations, and even sweet leaf tea. It lasts from 5:30-8:00 and they stop promptly at 8:00. We got there right at 7:00 and were just able to get through all the stations.
