Wine Extravaganza, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar has a few wine specials that I can't wait to try!

• "Fleming's 100" - According to their web site, Fleming's offers 100 different wines by the glass. 60 of the wines are part of a national selection that the entire Fleming's chain serves. The other 40 are locally selected. Here's the PDF of their wine list.
  
• Discovery Flights - Like many other Memphis wine bars, Fleming's offers wine flights - love these!
  
• Pick of the Month - Each month, Fleming's chooses a wine to highlight. For April, they're featuring Zilliken, a 2005 riesling from Germany.

I definitely plan to check out the Discovery Flights and the 100 by the glass wine list soon.

Special thanks to Chris Albonetti on this great tip!
