Tonight’s event at Sherma Cellars will feature a $5 wine tasting, $5 off any in-store purchase with the wine tasting, and 50% discount on future wine tastings. The evening social is a great way for downtown residents to explore downtown restaurants and businesses as well as get to know your neighbors.

Parking your car in downtown San Jose doesn’t come close to the nightmare of parking in San Francisco but let’s face it, finding a spot for your beloved vehicle can be a challenge at times. Maybe you are meeting friends for dinner before the Sharks game and need to figure out where to park so you can strategically be close enough to the restaurant before the game and close enough to HP Pavilion after the game. Or maybe you have friends visiting downtown and they need directions to a parking garage close by. If you want to find out where to park in downtown San Jose and want to find the best parking spots, check out the San Jose Downtown Parking website. This great site not only has locations for all of the parking lots downtown, but you can also navigate the site for:

*Map of downtown San Jose parking with points of interest
*Driving directions to downtown San Jose
*Parking fees and validation information
*Evening parking
*Discounts on monthly parking for downtown residents
*Public transportation links (so you won’t need to find parking!)
*Info on free parking

So if you are looking for a spot to park your ride, check out the San Jose Downtown Parking website.
