Looking for something to put in your mouth this weekend? We've got you covered. Check out what's on our plate.

Stock up on some sweet bubbly at Sportsman's Fine Wine and Spirits
We can think of a couple reasons why a trip to Sportsman's Fine Wine and Spirits should make an appearance on your weekend To Do list. The 32nd and Camelback location is staffed with knowledgeable liquor enthusiasts who can guide you to the perfect bottle of wine or bubbly, and even throw in some suggestions of what foods to pair them with. Unlike its more corporate competitors, Sportsman's is locally owned and operated, and has been specializing in fine wine and spirits for nearly 25 years. If you're looking to wow your friends and your taste buds on New Year's Eve, stop by Sportsman's for some much needed Champagne 101.

BN Health

Herbal Elixir Mixer at Bud's Glass Joint
BN Health is hosting its first-ever Herbal Elixir Mixer this Friday at Bud's Glass Joint in Downtown Phoenix.

BN Health's Elixir Mixer will give guests the chance to sample all-natural beverages like herbal sodas, herbal chocolate elixirs, as well as snacks like superfood macaroons. Live music will be provided by local act, Contradiktion, and guest speakers will be available to offer their expertise on venturing into a more herbal lifestyle. Tickets are $10 at the door, $5 in advance. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the Herbal Elixir Mixer Facebook event.

Pick up some pastry perfection at the new Tammie Coe Bakery
That New Year's resolution hasn't started just yet, so why not indulge with one last hurrah at the newest addition to the Tammie Coe (and MJ Bread) family. The bakery, which opened at 5210 North Central Avenue (next-door to Federal Pizza) on December 21, will offer the same buttered and frosted confections that you've come to love (to the point of regret) as well as MJ's artisan breads, and cups of Joe from Lux Coffee. For more information visit Tammie Coe Cakes on Facebook.
