Tires and Wine…Sure, he cute and single (The guy gave up on his made-for-TV match-up pretty quickly), but now there’s even more reason to grab a drink with The Bachelor‘s Andrew Firestone. Turns out the infamous tire heir is also heir to a California vineyard (the wine is Dad’s gig; tires were grandpa). This Friday young Firestone comes to Argonauts for a tasting and bottle signing to promote his family’s wines. Fri 3-6 p.m. Free. Argonaut Wine & Liquor, 700 E Colfax. For more information call 303-831-7788.
