Wine and cars this weekend at the River Oaks

The River Oaks Shopping Center is hosting an event this Friday and Saturday promising free wine tasting, hors d’ooeuvres (extra “o” for extra emphasis?) and live jazz music. Cleverly named the “Art, Jazz, & Wine Event,” there will also be an array of Audi autos to peruse while enjoying the festivities, courtesy of Momentum Audi. We assume that somewhere there will be some sort of art thrown in to the mix, too.

We can’t remember the last time Weingarten Realty Investors had a soiree quite like this (unless you count that time back in '88 when we took a carriage ride), so we are a little wary considering recent events surrounding the company. In any case, bring your walking shoes and leave the flask at home, because this could be a fun and free chance to drink, eat, shop, and tell everyone how horrible it would be if Weingarten actually went through with their intentions. Don't forget to make some plans to see a film at the River Oaks Theatre while in the area, too!

Where:  near South Shepherd and West Gray streets
When:   Friday from 6-8 pm, Saturday from 3-5 pm
Why:     we’re not exactly sure yet
