Wanna learn the proper method for sampling spirits versus wine? Yes, there is one, and those partaking in the inaugural Curious Palate Tasting Club event, from 5:30 to 7 tonight at newly opened Soirée (1003 S. Tejon St., coloradospringsvenue.com), will learn it. Local importer Gov Vaughn presents a historical lecture and whiskey tasting via four distinct samples from Kentucky distiller Four Roses Bourbon, followed by a Mint Julep — all snack-paired, for $25. Following this launch, the second Tuesday of each month will present a new focus, ranging from tequila and sake to beer and wine. RSVP for this one by Sunday, Feb. 19. — Matthew Schniper
