Marilyn Merlot
Nova Wines of Napa Valley has been making popular Marilyn Monroe-themed wines since 1985, including Blonde De Noirs, Marilyn Cabernet and the playfully named Marilyn Merlot. Those wines will be highlighted at an Invisible Theatre Company fundraiser at Pastiche Modern Eatery, 3025 N. Campbell Ave., at 6 p.m., Friday, Jan. 9. $125 per person, $75 of which is tax-deductible. Appetizers, sweets and music by Joe Bourne and Rob Boone are included. Call 882-9721 for reservations. Visit marilynwines.com or invisibletheatre.com for more information.
Holy Crèpes!
Café Zope has opened at 344 N. Fourth Ave., bringing a menu of sweet and savory crèpes to the downtown scene. Items range from a traditional lemon-and-sugar variety for $3.25 to a not-so-traditional crèpe stuffed with Swedish meatballs and red-beet salad for $8.25. Italian sodas, iced tea and coffee drinks made from organic, fair-trade java are also available. Co-owner Sabine Blaese (who also owns the nearby Café Passe) says things have been rolling along just fine for the quaint crèperie, and that weekend hours will likely be extended in the near future. Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily. Free delivery is also available downtown; call 623-3700.
