Taco Tuesdays have arrived at Skeeter's Mesquite Grill. Each location is participating in this special where you get two tacos with chips and salsa for $7. You can pair any two tacos off the menu together, which normally cost $3.25 to $4.75 each. Make a meal with the fried avocado taco topped with green cabbage, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese and poblano sauce, and the tempura-fried Baja shrimp taco with avocado, green cabbage and creamy chipotle sauce for one filling meal. If you visit during happy hour (Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. and all day Thursday), then you can throw in a $3 Jose Cuervo house marg or beer.

The Texas Wine School will host a wine tasting class, Taste Like a Pro White Wine Edition, on Tuesday, September 30, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. During the class, students will smell the fruits, spices and flowers normally found in "classic" white wines from a neutral base wine. Then, you will try to identify those smells in various bottles with that grape variety. This exercise will educate you on how to discover the flavors of white wines. After you sample the vino, you will enjoy wines that highlight the flavors and scents you just learned to identify. Tickets to this class cost $59.40 per person.
