This is something I have been wanting to check out for some time.  From what I’ve found out, starting at 6:00 PM every Wednesday at the Hotel Scottsdale’s Tesoro Lounge is Jazz by the Glass.  For $10 you get samples of three to four wines.  I’ve also found out that the Tesoro Lounge has some happy hour specials if people don’t want wine.  They’ve got a Jazz band going on for background music.  I’m probably going to check this out pretty soon so expect a review of this in the coming weeks.

This event pretty much goes on as long as people want to hang out and have fun.
