Pasadena, Calif., (June 8, 2009) – Pasadena is launching a Bring Your Own Wine Wednesdays (BYOW Wednesdays) promotion to help drive business to local restaurants while encouraging residents and visitors to sample some of the city’s exciting cafes and bistros. Customers will be able to bring their own bottle of wine to any of the 26 participating Pasadena restaurants where it will be served to them with no corkage fee.

The first BYOW Wednesdays, a Pasadena Convention & Visitors Bureau promotion, will be held on June 17 and will continue every Wednesday.
