As the restaurant community gears up for Christmas — and let’s not forget the planned blowouts on New Year’s Eve — this week’s culinary calendar is somewhat slim. Don’t forget, though, Lala’s Wine Bar + Pizzeria, 410 East Seventh Avenue, hosts an Argentina BBQ & Wine Tasting, outside grilling with the wine tasting inside and tapas paired with the wine. It runs from 4 to 7 p.m. and costs $20; call 303-861-9463 or visit www.lalaswinebar.com.

Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $22,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
