This week is bookended by a lot of events, including fundraisers. Pay close attention to tomorrow night and next Friday. You’ll also notice that you can get your fill of paella this week, including Thursday at The Party Source and Friday at Water Tower Fine Wines.
Remember, all the recurring events, those dependable weekly tastings,
are displayed on our calendar. The one-time events are after the jump.
