May 01 Friday
Here's whats going on
First Friday is basically our way of saying: you survived the week — now come drink wine about it.
Join us each First Friday for good pours, live music, great food and the kind of vibes that make you forget what day it is (except that it’s Friday… and that part matters).
We’ll be pouring your favorite Resistance wines, cranking up the good energy, and welcoming you in like family.
Here's the rundown for January
2:00pm-8:00pm: Empanada Throwdown
Wine tastings, bottles, all the local, homemade CABA empanadas you can dream of! Come hungry!
6:00pm- 8:00pm- Tres Palomas Performs
Tres Palomas - Three Doves- is comprised of Mari, Sean & Jason. They are a soulful blend of tender bossa nova, nostalgic jazz and dramatic ballads in French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Come for “just one glass.” Stay for three. No judgment here.
Reservations appreciated- Walk-ins are always welcome.
