You may not go to Napa this year, but that shouldn't stop you from going on a tour of Napa. Off the Vine is holding a free wine tasting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday at the Rice Gallery of Fine Art (11535 Ash, in Leawood). The Napa or Bust 2011 tasting features wines from Cade Winery, Renteria and Blackbird Vineyards. RSVPs are required. Call 913-951-9660 to make a reservation.

There are not many men who can make a pot of gumbo and play slide guitar onstage. But Bill Wharton, aka the Sauce Boss, is just that man. He'll be onstage at Knuckleheads Saloon tonight at 8 p.m. with a rider that has to be seen to be believed: a 12-gallon cast-aluminum pot, 100 plastic spoons, 1 gallon of chicken stock, 4 pounds of okra, and 3 pounds of crawfish tails, among other things. Tickets cost $12 in advance or $15 at the door.

Have you ever said that the only way you're going to Twilight is if you get a steak dinner? Well, Ruth's Chris is calling your bluff Sunday night. For $60.95, Ruth's Chris on the Plaza (700 West 47th Street, Suite 115 ) is offering a three-course meal, Twilight cocktail, and two glasses of beer or wine. After dinner, you can then head over to Cinemark on the Plaza to watch Twilight — Breaking Dawn. RSVPs are required. You can call 816-531-4800.

Need a break from holiday shopping? Check out the tea service at Bluestem (900 Westport Road) on Saturday — there's still space available. The tea service is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes finger sandwiches, pastries and tea. It's $25 per person, and reservations are required. Call 816-561-1101 to reserve a spot.

Weird. I didn't think Twilight fans were old enough to drink.
