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.
