Smoque Out at Juicy Wine

Taxes are due next week, and what better way to smother your sorrows (if you owe) or to celebrate your cash flow (if you received a return) than to indulge in barbeque and wine?

On Tuesday, April 17th, from 7-9 pm, Juicy Wine Co. teams up with Chicago's own Smoque and Walla Walla's K Vintners for the ultimate BBQ/wine pairing. Charles Smith from K will personally pair the juiciest of his wines with the finger-lickingest best barbecue in the city, Smoque BBQ. Smith will be pouring his latest releases, including Boom Boom Syrah as well as crowd-pleasers House Wine, Kung Fu Girl and Holy Cow Chardonnay. Tickets are $25, call for reservations.

Juicy Wine Co.
694 N. Milwaukee Ave.
