What goes better with delicious wine than amazing food? Drink Me Magazine has teamed up with online social resource Social Diva to give away two dinners for two, so you can indulge yourselves in Solstice’s delicious menu. Don’t worry, each dinner comes with two glasses from their amazing – slash – eclectic list of vino.
It seems Sol food can have sugar and spice and everything nice. Send this to friends who will name drop you when they Enter To Win for our offer*. If one of them win, maybe they’ll share some hand-cut frites two ways with you as a consolation prize. Located at 2801 California @ Divisadero, 415/359-1222.

Each sponsored room had a different theme with matching cocktails… One of the many rooms upstairs held delicious punches and cocktails and the revelers walked around with caveman sized turkey legs and mingled with jesters and clowns. Every alcohol was represented – from the small batch tequilas to the artisan gins and the big players. The stork club downstairs (with Zacapa, Tanquerey, Bulleit bourbon, and Don Julio) blasted wonderful live music and it’s own large party. The venue couldn’t have been better and the party was legendary. (more…)

Millennium, like the winery, is dedicated to sustainable, organic farming methods that have a minimal impact on the environment — the perfect place for a special Yellow+Blue wine pairing dinner.
