J Murdoch posted this question in this week’s Free-For-All Friday.  I thought we might be able to help ’em out.

Does anyone know of any good New Year’s Eve events in Decatur? We’re looking for something fun, not too DJ-ey, and maybe a little dressy.

Kelly writes in with all the essential details for Tastings‘ New Year’s Eve shindig…

NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION AT TASTINGS, 6PM-til ? (RELAX – NO RESERVATIONS REQUIRED)

For Every $50 Tasting Card Purchased, Receive a Ticket for Drawings:
