Taking a shot of tequila can give you the type of heady inebriation that one-night stands are made of, and chugging beer from a frosty mug can bring you to your knees — either in front of a toilet or in front of your bedmate. But when you take the time to sniff, sip, and swish a glass of wine, there’s a different kinda high. The grape elixir coasts to your brain, seducing your receptors with a rose-tinted feeling of “I’m too sexy for this shirt, so sexy that it huuurts.” True, a highball full of Arbor Mist can give you that effect, but imagine how a Pinot from the vineyards of Spain would make your dingle tingle. This Wednesday evening at the Bass, enjoy The Art of Fine Wine: Boutique Wines of Spain, a journey through viniculturally rich regions such as Ribera del Duero, Rioja, and Somontano.

Expert Damon Myers, complementary meats and cheeses, and your taste buds will be on hand to enhance the experience. You won’t have to spend hundreds on a plane ticket; $30 will buy you a flight of culturally rich vino. The imbibing begins at 7:30 p.m. Reservations are required; call 305-673-7530, ext. 1013, to make yours.
