Whether you are looking to party Bavarian style, like the idea of pink beer from Funky Buddha, or just want to peruse some organic produce, there's something for you to do in South Florida this weekend.

3. Winemaker Reception and Dinner With Andrew Vingiello
Connoisseurs love wine, because it's representative of human life. The same exact vine can produce diverse embodiments of wine based on what has occurred in its environment during the course of a season. It's deep. Only the winemaker knows how to tame the natural world to produce the perfect product; these folks are basically the gods of the grape. Meet one in the flesh on Saturday, February 22, at 7 p.m. at Ocean 2000. Winemaker Andrew Vingiello of A.P. Vin will be in the flesh talking to guests during the five-course dinner. The cost to attend is $80 per person. Call 954-556-7667, or visit pelicanbeach.com.

Located on the scenic waterfront of downtown West Palm Beach, the market offers a variety of farm fresh fruits and vegetables, tropical plants, artisan foods and more. Admission is free and there is free parking available in the Banyan Garage until 1 p.m. Well behaved dogs are welcome to attend.
1.3rd & 3rd Celebrating One Year Anniversary
To celebrate a successful year in business, 3rd and 3rd will be hosting an anniversary party this Friday, February 21 from 4:30 p.m. to close. Still no sign, you'll need good directions -- or the help of a friend who knows the spot well -- to find this clandestine, low-key hangout. There will be live music by local acts Chucka, Reggae Man and Girlfriend Material. The event will also feature free appetizers all night long. While you're there, don't forget the famous seared burger, winner of New Times best burger last year, served up on a brioche bun any way you like it.
