Who didn't spend many a freshman-year Friday night passed out and still clutching an empty bottle of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill? Well, we didn't, but that was just because we were too uncool to have a fake ID. Now that we're old enough to buy wine legally, we still occasionally reach for the cheap stuff. If you're broke like us, you'll love The Grape's Cheap Wine Special, featuring wines from Three Thieves, a vintner that is trying to make jugs and Tetra-Paks acceptable to wine snobs. Through September 22, enjoy $3 glasses of Zinfandel or Pinot Grigio at The Grape, 2808 Greenville Ave. Call 214-828-1981.
