So you're feeling a little tighter around the wallet lately; it's to be expected. But that doesn't mean your ordinarily expensive tastes need go unfulfilled. You can still fit the finer things in life into your ever-shrinking budget as long as you know where to look. Take wine for example: a bottle of vino and good company is completely affordable at Cheap is Chic, the Naked Grape Wine Bar's Wednesday night offering. For $25 you get a bottle of CMS Washington State Red (a big-bang-for-the-buck blend of Cab, Syrah, and Merlot), a cheese plate for snacking, and a pair of Ingo Belgian Chocolates - selection tailored for two. The $35 and $45 options dole out higher-priced bottles and more accompanying vittles, so the price is as modular as your billfold. Find the bar at 2039 Wilton Dr. in Wilton Manors, or online at nakedgrapewinebar.com.
Wednesdays, 7 p.m. Starts: March 25. Continues through June 24, 2009
