Third Thursday Wine walk

I just recently found out that locally we have what is called a Warehouse Wineries Wine Walk every 3rd Thursday.  For 20 dollars, you bring your own glass and then there up to 30 participating wineries that offer tastings.  Some offer only 2 tastings maybe a red and a white and others offer  up to 4.  So its quite a variety of what you can find there.  Along with the wine tastings some local restaurants also offer "small bites" which run 1-4 dollars for anywhere from a slice of  pizza, to pasta, smokehouse bbq etc.  These are just the right size to pair up with certain wines- for taste value AND to help hold the inebriation down.. LOL  
My girlfriend and I went yesterday, and had a hoot of a time.  We ran into a group of school teachers who teach in her dept. at school several times.  We also found 2 chocolate vendors who paired up with some wines that were extraordinary!
If you live in the area, they are going to be doing this at woodland park zoo on the 27th and also at Country Village Aug 28th. We already have plans to go with our husbands for to the Country Village event.
