Billing itself as "the greatest wine event to have ever been presented in Colorado," Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux Vintage Wine Tasting promises a special evening filled with some of the most prestigious French wines. Sixty wine makers from the Bordeaux region will be presenting their best 2012 vintages, giving sippers a chance to taste the 2012 harvest before it goes on the market. (You can view a list of participating Châteaux here.) This gala starts at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the Seawell Ballroom in the Denver Performing Arts Center; you can get tickets for an early tasting or general tasting at the link above.

Infinite Monkey Theorem continues its Yoga + Wine series. Every Thursday at 6:30 p.m., yoga enthusiasts of any ability level are led in a class by The Yoga Mat and served a glass of wine afterward. Exercise and booze: two great tastes taste great together.

Participants in this fabulously starchy cooking class at Stir Cooking School will learn how to create perfect Italian pasta dishes for those cold winter nights. The Warming Winter Pasta Dishes class is full, but you can call 720-287-4823 to see if there are any last-minute openings.
