Austin's Best Wine Bars; Olivia's Summer Dinner Series

WINEWIRE -- Snooth's "Austin's Best Wine Bars" slideshow features Apothecary Cafe, Uncorked, Malaga and more places to get the classy kind of drunk. [Snooth]

DOWNTOWN -- Imprisoned nightclub owner Mike Yassine (ruler of the former Pure, Kiss & Fly, Treasure Island, etc. empire) just settled a $685,000 civil suit with a former employee. Gonna be hard to collect on that considering much of Yassine Enterprises is the property of the federal government right about now. [KVUE]

SOLA -- Olivia begins its Summer Dinner Series tonight with Western Chinese cuisine. Didn't make reservations in time? Next month's theme is Maine Lobster. [Eaterwire/The Thread Austin]
