River Ranch POURing out specials for ladies
POUR in River Ranch is offering half off champagne splits and $1 half-glasses of moscato as part of its ladies’ night specials on Thursdays.
Ladies looking to let off a little steam can POUR into River Ranch every Thursday for ladies night at POUR, where they can indulge in half-priced champagne splits and $1 half-glasses of moscato.
The River Ranch wine-centric eatery describes the champagne splits as “pale & golden in color with an abundance of elegant bubbles ... with a subtle predominance of pear, apple, almonds and hazelnuts.”
“On the palate it is fresh on the opening, smooth, pleasant and balanced,” POUR says of its champagne special for ladies.
In addition to ladies night, POUR’s kitchen is now keeping extended hours. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the kitchen will be open from 3 p.m to 10 p.m., and Thursdays through Saturdays the kitchen will remain open from 3 p.m. to midnight.
POUR offers a wine-tasting experience like no other in Lafayette, with 48 user-friendly, self-serving selections.
