Over on the Blacksmith Restaurant blog today, Paul points out their new wine tasting Wednesdays:

Here’s a low-cost opportunity to taste great wines with guidance from experts. The Blacksmith Restaurant has started Wednesday Tastings after work, and each month spotlights a different beverage....

Cost is $10 to taste approximately eight wines, and every week will feature different vineyards, varietals, vertical tastings and other fun ways to experience the beauty of the bottle.

Not quite as free as Newport Market's Thirsty Thursdays, but $10 isn't bad either. Looks like they start at 5pm.
