Mmmm… wine, lots and lots of wine. The City Pages annual wine tasting event is this Friday 4/3.

City Pages Wine Tasting presented by MGM – Eventbrite.

From City Pages:

Hundreds of wines, delicious appetizers, great live music and a silent auction – all in one room! It’s the spring edition of the City Pages Wine Tasting presented by MGM.

The event features a variety of more than 250 wines, including some of the best domestic and imported wines available at metro area MGM locations. Enjoy an incredible array of wines and live music from Rare Medium. A portion of proceeds from the event benefit The Southern Theater – a non-profit organization which provides a vibrant home for performance, fostering a multiplicity of voices, and catalyzing connections among artists and audience. In addition to the vast selection of wine, your admission includes complimentary light appetizers (while supplies last) from award-winning D’Amico Catering, voted one of the Twin Cities best caterers.

Tickets are $28 in advance at MGM locations (no ticket fees) and through www.citypages.com/winetasting – ($0.99/ticket service charges apply); or $35 at the door the night of the event. A $10 designated driver ticket is also available. Admission includes all wine samples and light appetizers from D’Amico Catering. Must be 21 or older to participate and present valid ID upon entering the event.

International Market Square is located at 275 Market Street, Minneapolis – just west of I-94 and Lyndale off Glenwood. For additional information about the event please visit www.citypages.com/winetasting. The City Pages Wine Tasting is presented by MGM and sponsored by Cities 97, KTLK, and SRO Productions.

Bringing your own bottle of wine used to cost you $25 (plus the wine itself), but no more! In an attempt to figure out how to get more folks in the door during these rough economic times, they’ll let you bring your own wine for no additional charge.

They’re careful to point out that this ONLY applies to wine, not beer, or spirits (or probably even orange soda).

Very nice move Manny’s, I’m on my way.
