Take your date to a wine tasting in Orlando on June 25

It's in the 90s (the upper nineties, as I write this), and you want to do something fun in the air conditioning. We've seen all the good movies and every other place seems crowded after work. How about a wine tasting?

There are a few places around Orlando that offer wine tastings during the week. How many of them can offer the largest selection in the area? Only one can: Total Wine & Spirits.

On June 25, from 6 pm to 8 pm, Total Wine & Spirits is offering a wine tasting to benefit the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. For only $20 per person, you can visit each station to sample beer, wine, spirits, and appetizers from around the world. If you are looking for ideas for a good date, this would be high on anyone's list. Plus, chances are good that you won't have to pay for dinner, because everyone will be full after 2 hours of sampling. $40 seems pretty cheap when it is the total price tag. Plus, attendees get discounts on purchases made during the event. If you taste something that tickles your fancy, why not take home a bottle to share together later?

If you want to see a production by the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, the 21st season begins with a bang on September 16th. Literally, the first show of this season is "The Big Bang." The performers are top notch and the shows selected each season offer something for everyone: drama, comedy, nosteglia, and even shows for the entire family to enjoy together. Tickets start at only $10, so you can afford to see several shows in a season, without breaking the bank.
