Wining and Smoking with Bill Daley
          Tuesday, June 30, 5:30-8:30pm
                      Rooftop of 63 East Lake Street (at Wabash)

Wine and smoke: Purists and fusspots say the two should never come together. But consider some of the words used by wine pros to describe what they’re drinking: Tobacco, cigar, cigar box, smoky.  Bill Daley will offer various wine varieties considered smoke-friendly for you to try.  $40 inclusive covers the cost of three premium cigars, wine, premium open bar, and sandwiches.  RSVP by close of business Monday.  Reservations are required.
