There's an art to drinking wine; discover it from 6-9 p.m. tonight at the Denver Art Museum when the DAM Uncorked Wine Tasting presents over 250 wines from prominent domestic and international vintners. And from 6-10 p.m. on April 18, the DAM follows up with a dinner and auction. Tickets range from $35 to 90; for information, go to www.denverartmuseum.org/uncorked.
At 7 p.m. Saturday, April 18, the Wynkoop Brewing Company, 1634 18th Street, hosts the second annual Liquid Poetry event, with readings of original, beer-themed poetry by Denver poet laureate Chris Ransick and other Colorado poets; admission is free, and a buck from the sale of each glass of Liquid Poetry beer, an Irish red style, goes to the new Anthology Project, a Colorado literary journal.
