"Open That Bottle Night" is coming up Feb. 26 at Andrew Blair's, an event created by former Wall Street Journal wine columnists who felt sure too many people tucked away wine for too long and wanted to encourage them to bring out those special bottles for this "special occasion": the last Saturday of February. Bring yours to the restaurant and you'll get a $30 meal with waved corkage fees. Reservations encouraged: 704-525-8282; 1600 Montford Drive.
