• Yes, those covered-up windows mean something: Jason’s Deli on Mockingbird is closed for renovations. No word on when it will reopen.
• The Grape will hold a beer pairing dinner on Jan. 16, featuring Lakewood Brewing Co., at 7 p.m. on Jan. 16. Price is $55 for four courses; reservations are required.
• Wine of the week: Domaine de Pouy ($10) is an amazingly fresh, almost grapey wine from Gascony, made with grapes used almost nowhere else in the world. It has a green apple sort of citrus note that balances everything and takes the wine where most $10 wines don’t go. Available at Spec’s.
