Restaurant Week
Restaurant Week continues on through the 17th.
Bass Hall
August 15 and 16th, $47-$79. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band is a no-fail good time and they will grace the stage for two days at the Bass Hall. Reata, Texas de Brazil, The Vault, Mercury Chop House, and Ferre, Del Frisco’s, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse are all participating in Restaurant Week if you’re looking for a place to eat before the show.
Delaney Vineyards
August 16, 7AM to noon. The 13th Annual Harvest and Grape Stomp at Delaney Vineyards in Grapevine. The harvest starts at 7AM and continues through 10AM and you get a grapevine cutter, a bucket, and a lesson on how to hand harvest a grapevine. Walking up and down rows up grapevine will help fuel your fantasies of retiring to your own vineyard one day, well OK it will fuel my fantasies. You will also get a look at how it’s really done as you get to observe the mechanical harvester and grape crusher/de-stemmer in action.
Then at 10AM, this is where it get’s really good, you get to stomp on the grapes “Lucy style”. This is a great one for the kids! The stomp continues until noon or until this happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMS0O3kknvk
Arts Fifth Avenue Jazz Collective

Lone Oak Winery
August 17th, 5PM to dusk, no cover. More wine harvesting action, this time in Burleson. This one sounds a little more down home. It’s a tex-mex potluck with Wine-a-ritas and live music by 3 fools on 3 stools. This family friendly event has wine themed crafts and tours of the vineyard.
