Wine tastes better on a rooftop. We don’t make the rules. On August 20 from 5:00–7:00 PM, 10th & Terrace is hosting a complimentary tasting led by Laurence Vuelta of Sunrise Wine, featuring Pinot Grigio, rosé, Primitivo, Lambrusco, and the stories behind each pour. These tastings return every third Thursday, so finding a new favorite could become a monthly habit.
See what’s pouring and make your reservation here.

Through August 13 — Last Chance for $1 Summer Movies
If you've been meaning to catch one of Regal's $1 summer movies, the window is officially getting short.
Regal's Summer Movie Express wraps up on August 13, leaving just a few days to take advantage of the summer promotion. Through Thursday, participating Regal theaters (including Regal North Hills) are offering $1 tickets to select family movies, with screenings starting at 11 AM.
The series has brought family favorites back to the big screen throughout summer break, offering a particularly inexpensive way to squeeze in one more movie outing before the promotion ends.
There's a snack deal, too. Anyone attending a Summer Movie Express title receives $3 off a Snack Pack, which includes a junior-sized drink, popcorn, and fruit gummies, and/or $3 off a cup of Dippin' Dots.
With the final screenings happening this week, now's the time to catch one before the Summer Movie Express disappears for the season.
