Usually we’d post this type of thing at the beginning of the week, but saucy news is thin this morn. Onward.

Local 360 inaugurates a series of Thursday wine tastings on January 12. The first one features pours from Ash Hollow Winery and a $30 chef’s menu is available for grubbing. They happen from 9 (am) to 3 5 to 10pm.

Agave mecca Coa hosts Kent Johnson of Aha Toro and quote-unquote tequila evangelist Clayton Szczech on January 19. Tickets for the sipping session are $35. Noshes are included.

Also that night: An impressive lineup of local bars (Tavern Law, Bathtub Gin, The Saint, Little Water, to name a few) are partaking in an event named New Year Libation: 2012’s Hottest Cocktails. The bash takes place at Pravda Studios and costs $25.

And for further down the road: Three sisters have organized what they’re calling the Totally Teal Toast, an 80’s-themed bar crawl benefiting the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. On February 18 saddle up at 12:30 at Lot No. 3 before grogging at Pearl Bar and Dining, Paddy Coynes, Lucky Strike, and Earls. Register at totallytealtoast.com.
