A spirited toast to all things alcoholic! by\u00a0Leslie Dinaberg<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Loquita<\/a>, the Funk Zone favorite restaurant that celebrates the flavors of Spain, has announced a new bar and wine club program just in time for the holiday season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring\u00a0Porron Hour, a Spanish Sherry Flight and the Loquita Wine Club,\u00a0<\/span>Loquita\u2019s Bar Manager David Medina has curated these new beverage programs to enjoy at the restaurant or for your home entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur Porron Hour is designed to share the traditional Spanish method for enjoying wine while also offering an approachable price on some of our most popular wines by the glass. Sampling these selections from our hand-blown wine carafes create a singular experience where our guests can pour directly into their mouths from an outstretched arm. Sounds a bit crazy, but that’s Loquita,\u201d says Medina.<\/span><\/p>\n
