MOST HAPPY HOURS are already zoos, you say? The Smithsonian National Zoo's Great Ape House presents "Grapes With the Apes" on Thursday at 6 p.m. Join FONZ Young Professionals in tasting and learning about local wines from Virginia and Maryland wineries.

Area restaurants will provide the hors d'oeuvres and jazz/blues band Ready, Set, Go! will provide the live entertainment. All this -- plus a commemorative glass -- for $55. (FONZ members have to pay only $40.) Proceeds will benefit the zoo's conservation efforts.
