Self-Defense Seminar

RedEye's Tracy Swartz of "Going Public" is hosting a free self-defense seminar by the Guardian Angels tomorrow at 6 p.m. The class will cover self-defense tactics and allow participants to practice with The Guardian Angels.

Please RSVP to this event on Facebook so Red Eye has an idea of how many people are coming. (Pioneer Court, 401 N. Michigan Ave., next to Tribune Tower)

Wine Tasting

This Thursday, June 23, from 5-7 p.m. at Lush Wine and Spirits, is your chance to learn about Greek Wines. For most of us, our experience with the products of Greek Vineyards is limited to retsina and roditis - but there’s a whole world of fine Greek wine out there for you to discover. Giota Englisis of Athenee Importers and Tassos Ballas from Domaine Hatzimichalis, will be sampling six different greek wines, red and white, for lush customers. If you want to guarantee a spot, email Rachel@lushwineandspirits.com. (1412 West Chicago Avenue)

Featured readings by Brad Brubaker, Amy L. Hayden, Georgi Johnston, Muyassar Kurdi, Jami Sailor and Pete Michael Smith. (2307 N. Milwaukee Ave.)
