| Saint Louis Wine School Premium Lounge | Tue., December 9 | St. Louis - Forest Park Southeast | |
While some readers were out obtaining master's degrees — good for you! No, seriously! — Ms. Day spent her nights studying bottles of wine. She really learned a lot back then, like that pretty labels can be deceiving, and that she's not so fond of the white varietals. But as with any... More >> |

| "Choc-tails" Happy Hour Bissinger's: A Chocolate Experience | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday | St. Louis - Midtown | |
It is during this time of year that Ms. Day's thoughts turn not to Thanksgiving, but to her birthday. Oh, how she adores celebrating!

| Clambake Chase Park Plaza | Every week Friday | St. Louis - Central West End | |
We always thought the Chase Park Plaza (212 North Kingshighway Boulevard) had a lot to offer, but now it apparently has a beach as well. How else could the stately hotel-and-more offer a Clambake? The people there must have installed a small ocean out on the patio that appears only on Friday... More >> |

| Horror Trivia Jade Room | Third Sunday of every month | St. Louis - South Grand | |
| Around these parts, you can't open a beer out of earshot of folks at a trivia event — they're happening everywhere! But you're just terrible at those kinds of trivia nights.

| Kristkindl Markt Stone Hill Winery-Hermann |
Sat., December 6 more dates/times |
||
The holiday season encroaches — oops, we mean arrives — earlier and earlier each year. In fact, in 2009 you might want to consider wrapping tinsel around your jack-o'-lantern in the interest of efficiency. The problem with this whole Christmas-in-October trend? It takes away from... More >> |

Today's the big day: You're finally going out for drinks with that nice young lady from accounting.

| Pirate Night at the Delmar Restaurant & Lounge Delmar Restaurant & Lounge | Every week Monday | Delmar/The Loop | |
Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants. Bartender says, "Gosh, that looks uncomfortable." Pirate replies, "Yarrr, it's drivin' me nuts!"

| Sake Rue 13 | Every week Wednesday | St. Louis - Washington Avenue | |
| Even though a new, fancy restaurant or bar opens on Wash. Ave. every day of the week (at least it seems that way), you would be remiss to forget about a longtime favorite on the rue: Rue 13 (1313 Washington Avenue; 314-588-7070). This downtown mainstay has survived not only road construction,... More >> | |||
| Scotch Tour The Scottish Arms | Daily | St. Louis - Central West End | |
To whom you're born, your resulting cultural heritage there's no choice in that. It's happenstance. But some of us get lucky: We have the Scots blood running tartan-red, and we think it's cool. And St. Louisans with the Caledonian stuff can be damn happy about the Scottish Arms (6-10... More >> |

| StLectro Night Rue 13 | Every week Thursday | St. Louis - Washington Avenue | |
| To figure out what electro music is all about you can: A) look it up in the dictionary for a rather stiff, generic definition; B) humor yourself with Urban Dictionary and/or Wikipedia and their colorful yet questionable descriptions; or, better yet, C) go to Rue 13 (1311 Washington Avenue;...

| Wine & Cheese Place Samples Wine & Cheese Place | Every week Saturday | Clayton | |
Ms. Day knows that the average Night & Day reader is a more than generous giver: You donate your old clothes, you never forget a birthday, and you've just purchased holiday gifts for practically every person you've ever met. But all this generosity has begun to take its toll and not just... More >> |

| Wine Tastings at Saint Louis Cellars St. Louis Cellars | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday | Maplewood | |
| Ms. Day takes great pleasure in shopping, so she views the Christmas buying season as a time cluttered with shopping amateurs, much like New Year's Eve is with inexperienced drinkers. But while she's hustling around town and dealing with bad parkers, line-jumpers and the like, she won't despair... More >> | |||
| WineStyles WineStyles | Every week Thursday, Saturday | Chesterfield | |
| At some stores selecting wine has become about as difficult as choosing between the company-provided health-care options: Should you pay the $57 out-of-pocket maximum for a bottle to serve at that dinner party you're hosting, knowing you can at least face the crowd with confidence, or would it...
