National Drink Wine Day: List Of Great Places To Celebrate
By Lauren Wulf
Now that Valentine's Day is over, you can celebrate a real national holiday -- "National Drink Wine Day"! Pop the cork and enjoy a glass of your favorite Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot, Shiraz, or Zinfandel in honor of the occasion.
On Monday, February 18, five Chicago area restaurants (from River North to suburban Westmont) will celebrate "National Drink Wine Day" with special offers, including half-priced bottles, $5 glass pours and a "wine and chocolate" pairing for charity.
Since it's also President's Day, why not also honor your favorite president with a special toast?
Cheers!
