Happy hour in the haus
Every second spent eating Tara Koenig’s cupcakes is a happy one, so you’re guaranteed to get downright giddy at Sweethaus’ new happy hour(s) on Tuesdays from 2 to 4pm, when buying two cupcakes gets you one on the, er, haus.
A pop-up chef
On Sunday, catch Clifton Inn’s Tucker Yoder in a different kitchen when he serves as the guest chef at Blenheim Vineyards’ winemaker dinner. Passed appetizers make their rounds at 6:30pm and with a glass of Blenheim wine in hand, diners will get a brief tour of the winery before heading out to the lawn for a four-course family-style meal paired with wines and commentary by winemaker Kirsty Harmon and assistant winemaker Greg Hirson.
Coffee’s new competition
It’s not unusual to leave Greenberry’s with a buzz, but until recently it’s always been of the caffeinated variety. Every night between 3 and 9pm, the 20-year-old roaster in the island at Barracks Road Shopping Center offers a dozen wines by the glass (and bottle) and 10 bottled beers, giving us a chance to unwind from our day in the same place where we geared up for it. Nibble on cheese and charcuterie, hummus, or hot spinach and artichoke dip and call it dinner. Those still craving a coffee buzz can cap off the evening with an affogato—vanilla gelato drowned in a shot of espresso.
