It's First Thursday. Art looks better on a few glasses of wine, don't you think? It warms the blood and makes winter gallery-hopping more bearable, anyhow. What better way to start the evening than at Morton's of Chicago's First Thursday tasting featuring, what else, but wines of Portugal—the "it" wines of the week. The sumptuous free steak sandwiches are themselves little works of art. Free. 5:30-7 p.m. 1511 Sixth Ave., 206-223-0550. DOWNTOWN

Now that the Beaujolais nouveau craze seems to be fading, maybe the worthwhile and (price-worthy) wines of this southern reach of Burgundy will regain the attention they deserve. If you want to be ahead of the curve, take Dieter Schafer's three-evening class in the varieties of Beaujolais, with tastings each time. $80. 6-9 p.m. Tuesdays at South Seattle Community College, 6000 16th Ave. S.W., 206-764-5339.
