National Drink Wine Day comes along every year on February 18. I’ll be the first to admit that I groan at the idea of preconceived “holidays” – August 8 is National Zucchini Day? Are you serious!? – but Wine Day is one that I’m all for celebrating.
Not only is wine a great beverage to pair with foods and friends, it also has health benefits….when consumed in moderation. Ha!
If you’re celebrating this, um, holiday, around Los Angeles, here are some locations that are getting into the spirit or will help the spirit get into you!
As always, please enjoy your wine responsibly. Cheers!

Thanks for helping promote National Drink Wine Day this year! Every year it gets a little bigger and better. I too have a weakness for Key Lime Pie 🙂
Thanks again for supporting National Drink Wine Day!
Is the moon blue? I might try some of that stuff you make from grapes! I’ve got to go on some of those wine tours! Yes!
