It’s Friday so what should I do this weekend? Wineries in our area have come up with lots of innovative things to do, married with the romance of wine.

Of course, it is more fun with two or maybe even more. Get your BEST friend (in this case my wife Marty) and head out to a myriad of wine events.

For those more adventurous, try Llano Estacado’s Wine Cruise leaving at 5 p.m. on Saturday on Carnival Ecstasy on Galveston Island and returning Thursday. Cost starts at $220 per person and includes ports of call in Cozumel and Progresso, Mexico. For more information, call (832) 741-9414.
