Drinking For A Cause: Wine Tasting/Art Show This Thursday

I always get a bit nervous when the subject turns to wine. I wouldn’t know a good wine if it crawled up my pant leg and bit me on the ass.

They write: Dee’s Cafe PITTSBURGH YOU’RE HAVING: Yuengling, late. A twenty-three-ounce beer for only $2.25. Pool tables, three jukeboxes, and Ping Pong. Every ‘Burgh bar crawl goes though Dee’s. (1314 East… Read the rest
