>Free Wine Tasting @ Bistrot Lepic– When we heard they would be serving up Free Champagne tonight, our ears definitely perked up. Free wine is pretty common in the District, somebody’s always got something new for you to taste but champagne does not come around very often. Nonetheless, Bistrot offers up Free wine every Tuesday from 6 pm-8 pm and we’re going to join in on the festivities. Cheers!
