RON SWARNER: I SAY DO BOTH >>>

It was a long, hard day, and the weekend seems so far away. You need to wash away your Hump Day woes with some wine. Hell, bring the whole work crew to The Red Hot. The hot dog-serving tavern will pour Montpellier Vineyards’ Viognier and Pinot Noir during Wino Wednesday, which falls on the first Wednesday of every month. Each pour is $3.

Along the same budget lines, just a little bump up, the Sea Grill hosts a “$20 Tasting” tonight featuring five bite-size seafood creations paired with five wines from Terra Blanca. No reservations are needed for the 5 to 7 p.m. tasting.

[The Red Hot, 2914 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.779.0229]
[Sea Grill, 1498 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.5656]
