Friday, November 24 Good Friday Wine Tasting, 5:30 p.m., The Warhol, North Shore Side It’s the last Friday of them month and that means wine and cheese at the Warhol.

Sample four wines provided by Big Burrito, and mix it up with cheeses, fruits, nuts, and other assorted trappings of a wine tasting. Reservations are ok, but walk-ins are also welcome.

They’re known for awesome covers at their live shows, including a fantastic version of A-Ha’s “Take on me” which was featured in the movie “BASEketball”. Like to hear it? Here it is:
