Upcoming Events in the QC

I wanted to give everyone a heads up on a few upcoming events.
Friday, November 4th, "First Friday" at Mississippi River Distilling they will be premiering their Iowa Coffee Company Liqueur along with food samples.  This is a fun evening in Le Claire, IA and my wife and I look forward to going again this coming month.
Also Friday November 4th, the Rock Island, IL Hy-Vee is hosting a 2011 Wine and Spirits Holiday tasting.  They are featuring over 50 beverages (including wine, beer and spirits) as well as a four table spread of items from their catering menu.  It is $20 per person; registration is suggested but not necessary.  Register at the Rock Island Hy-Vee customer service.
Friday, November 18th, is the Annual Fall Wine Tasting at the Davenport Hy-Vee at Eastern and Kimberly, from 6 to 8:30pm.  It is $15 per person. All proceeds will be donated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).   They are featuring over 140 different wines, beers and liqueurs, as well as party trays and other items for the holiday parties.
Thursday, November 10th, Blue Cat Brew Pub is having their November Dinner.  It is $50 per person with beer and $40 per person without beer, but why go if you are not going to enjoy the beer?  More information or reservation can be made by calling Blue Cat at 309-788-8247.  Sounds like this one may be interesting since Dan the Brewer will be explaining how each beer goes with each course.  So be sure to reserve early!
Those are the events I am aware of happening within the next few weeks.  So go give one or all of them a try.
