Things to Do: 1K Wine Walk

Just came across a weekend event called the 1K Wine & Beer Walk and had to share. Unfortunately, I'll be away on a ski trip for the wine walk, so please have a glass, or two, in my honor. Cheers! See below for more information.

1K Wine & Beer Walk

January 14 & 15 (Wine) - $40
January 21 & 22 (Beer) - $35

Calling all athletes and couch-potatoes alike! Cross the start line into the shops of Crystal City and rest your weary legs periodically at our hydration stations along the race course- but you won’t find any sports drinks or bananas here- just beer and wine! With 30 + beers & wines to choose from before the finish line, spend your Saturday or Sunday walking with friends along the indoor, shops of Crystal City.

Choose heats starting every half hour from 2:00 to 5:30 PM and make your way through the race course in the Shops at Crystal City with your 20 tasting tickets while snacking on cheese, bread and more to keep those muscles working. Best part, each racer receives a1K Race Tee Shirt! Remember...no running please

Things to Do: Eat•Drink•Go LOCAL

Today, I was looking at LivingSocial's deal for an event called Eat•Drink•Go LOCAL. I'd never heard of it so I decided to take a moment to familiarize myself with it. It's an event held in three locations in Maryland that combines two of my loves, wine and food. The first event will be held in Frederick, MD on July 9.

Today's LivingSocial deal offers over 50% off of the cost of the wine tasting, it's only $7. Get your deal before it expires here.

Below is more information from the Eat•Drink•Go LOCAL website...
