Some wine snobs are like the Black Eyed Peas of boozing in that they share a special affinity for overusing hackneyed phrases like "oaky, "buttery," and "chalky." And while the Peas may not yet have composed an irksome homage to oenophilia we're sure there's a wino out there who'd be happy to help. In the meantime, for some inspiration Michy's is throwing a very unorthodox wine tasting on Saturday from 2:30 to 3:30 where 20 sippers paying $55 a head will swish, swirl and swill four flights of three wines each--paired with art, music, film and historial figures. We don't get it either but it sounds like a tweaked out version of Trivial Pursuit. Or at least, after 12 glasses of wine, the incoherent Black Eyed Peas version of it anyway. Call 305-759-2001 to reserve your glass. [EaterWire]
