Times sure are tough, which is why it pays to drink heavily, especially on Wednesday nights at Area 31 starting next week for Raid the Cellar, during which time executive chef E. Michael Reidt will pick two of his favorite high end wines and offer them at a highly discounted price. No, really. Fancy a $76 glass of Jean Noel Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées, Burgundy 2006? On Wednesday, August 31 it will cost you just $19. Only catch is you have to eat dinner to get that price. But there's always the $35 Miami Spice menu. [EaterWire]
