It’s never a bad time to do some wine tasting, especially when it’s Opening Night at Fleming’s. So plan your month accordingly, and head to Fleming’s on Thursday nights. During this month of discovery, you will have the chance to experience the newly released Fleming’s 100 — the 100 wines that made their list for the upcoming year. During each tasting, guests will taste their way through 20 wines, paired with tasting tips from the wine managers and some sumptuous hors d’eouvres from the kitchen at Fleming’s.
These events will take place every Thursday in September (9/2, 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30) from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. and will cost $25. To make this deal even better, you can use that $25 you spent on the wine tasting as a credit for dining in the restaurant that evening. Call to make your reservations in advance, as this is sure to sell out.
Fleming’s is located at 2525 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Coral Gables FL 33134.

Bourbon is perfect for many things — to pair with a nice cigar, to sip after dinner and now, it has even made its way into my shower. Before you even think that I’m swigging my favorite moonshine in the early a.m. hours, let me introduce you to my new found friend — Bourbon Bubbler Brown Sugar Body Scrub.
A brilliant creation from FarmHouse Fresh, a Texas-based company, this body scrub will leave your skin silky smooth. Once you open the jar, you will cozy up to the nostalgic scent of gingersnap and pecan — and won’t be able to keep out. Slather the scrub on and your skin will be awakened after the brown sugar exfoliates and the Kentucky whiskey and rice bran oil moisturizes.
This luscious scrub come in a 12-oz jar and is priced at $32.50. Available at FarmHouse Fresh and at select retail outlets.

Put away the wine, sometimes you just need an ice, cold margarita. Ah, the joys!
Just add Milagro Tequila, for the perfect margarita.
For our last happy hour event, Dine stopped at Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar in Boca Raton — the perfect destination for drinks or dinner — any night of the week. For this event, we paired up with the SFPRN (South Florida Public Relations Network) for an evening of margaritas and Mexican food favorites — like their tableside guacamole (shown below).
For this event, guests were greeted with a Milagro Margarita and a sampling of favorites from Roccoo’s Tacos like chips and salsa, guacamole, tacos, flautas and more.
Everyone who attended enjoyed the lively energy, the active crowd and took time to kick back, relax and make some new contacts. For more photos from this event, check out our Dine flickr page.
Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar is located at 5250 Town Center Circle in Boca Raton. (561) 416-2131

While Tuesdays in August tend to be a down time at many restaurants, Caffe Abbracci is the exception to the rule, and there is good reason for that. Restaurateur Nino Pernetti ensures everything is executed properly, and that is why his devoted fans fill up Caffe Abbracci week after week. When Nino agreed to host a Dine Happy Hour event, we were more than thrilled – we knew that the evening would be perfect.
Guests were welcomed into this sold-out event with a glass of Banfi wine — San Angelo Pinot Grigio or Banfi Rosso to start off the evening, and a selection of gourmet bites from the kitchen like Belgian Endive with Parmigiano Reggiano Fondue, Beef Carpaccio with Truffle Oil and Grissini Torinesi wrapped with Parma Prosciutto ham.

Although the bar area was cozy, it wasn’t uncomfortable — and with Nino mingling with our guests, everyone felt right at home. During the event, we happily snapped some photos to capture the memories.
And, a few lucky guests even went home with a copy of Nino Pernetti’s Caffe Abbracci cookbook.
Caffe Abbracci is located at 318 Aragon Ave, Coral Gables. 305.441.0700

The recently opened Amuse at Tempo Miami was the destination for a sumptuous Dine Happy Hour event, and it was filled with much excitement. Being open for less than a month, we brought in a lot of newcomers curious to see what this new small plates and sleek restaurant was all about.
