Whether you stay in or go out tonight (or you go for a run through Tower Grove Park and happen to veer off for a drink – true story, don’t judge), a stop at one of Gustine Market‘s free wine samplings is never a bad idea.
Join co-owner Vicky Cumminskey (pictured) tonight from 5:30 to 8 p.m. to sample from eight different wines like the Clos Du Bois 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, La Crema 2012 Chardonnay and Wairau River 2012 Sauvignon Blanc. Afterwards, buy a bottle or two of your favorites, or grab some brew from Gustine’s great beer selection, like Abita’s newly released Spring IPA, 4 Hands Contact High and Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-Down.
If all the drinking makes you hungry, do some grocery shopping while you’re there. This tiny, unassuming Tower Grove South bodega is packed with tons of foodie finds, like Baileys’ Range ice cream available by the half pint, sweets from Kakao Chocolate and frozen pies from Dogtown Pizza.
Can’t make it to tonight’s tasting? There will another one Thursday, May 8 – a perfect opportunity to buy some extra wine to bring to Sauce’s first Food Truck Friday of the season the next night.
