Sat update: Distillery, Grizzlies sign Vince Carter, tube top news, book signing, Cafe Keough

Great news for Downtown Memphis this morning. Old Dominick, a high-end spirits distillery, will open at 301 S. Front by the end of 2015. It will be opened by D. Canale, a beverage distributor which has been in Memphis for many, many years. There will be a tasting room (yaaaaaayyyyy!) The distillery is named for company founder Dominic Canale.

Major pickup for the Grizzlies: The team has signed Vince Carter, a shooting guard and NBA All-Star who most recently played for the Dallas Mavericks. He is in the twilight of his career, but still, he will give us some badly needed depth at the wing.

From the Daily Mail: Taylor Swift shows off her slim figure in tiny tube top on outing with her parents.

Author Samantha Crespo will sign copies of her book 100 Things to Do in Memphis Before You Die this afternoon at 5 at A. Schwab. There will be complimentary hors d’oeuvres. A new classic cocktail menu by head soda jerk Patrick Gilbert will be available. There will also be non-alcoholic beverages and frozen goodies for sale.

Cafe Keough will have $3 mimosas tomorrow from 11 to 6. Those should pair nicely with their great breakfast menu.

Team I don’t care about plays team I don’t care about in a sport I don’t care about at 3. Maybe I should drive out to Fox & Hound Cordova so I can watch it in a bar I don’t care about. Right now it’s time to get dressed and get to Panda’s bar at Bardog for my usual Saturday visit.
