Weekend things to do: Small Wine Shop, Disney on Ice, ‘Downton Abbey,’ Taylor Swift engagement brunch

Small Wine Shop, the downtown Fort Lauderdale hidden gem that closed in June, is making a comeback. Sort of.

The owners of the beloved wine boutique, Tim Graham and wife Tracy Pell, are reviving the lively vibe they’ve created in Flagler Village for the past five years and taking it on the road with a series of pop-up events.

“What we’ve found really exciting about this different phase that we’re in is that we can do different formats of events. We can do a movie night, a dinner, a cruise. It’s gonna be really fun,” Pell says.

First up is a tasting event at The Vintage on Harrison in downtown Hollywood from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, focusing on some of their favorite wines from Spain. Tickets are $35, free for wine club members with RSVP. The Vintage is at 1955 Harrison St.

Then on Sept. 19, the duo will team with the Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi for a sunset tasting cruise called Wines of the Mediterranean Coast, featuring five selections from coastal France, Spain and Italy. Guests board at 6:30 p.m. at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, with a 7 p.m. departure. The evening, which will include raffles, a Water Taxi goodie bag and more, ends with an after-party at Olive & Sea. Tickets cost $75 (10% off for members).

Thursday movie: The animated indie hit “Boys Go to Jupiter” by graphic artist Julian Glander (as seen in The New Yorker and The New York Times) ends its run at Savor Cinema in downtown Fort Lauderdale on Thursday with screenings at 6 and 8 p.m. Set in a vaguely futuristic, cotton candy-colored central Florida beach town, the evocative adventures of restless, hoverboard-riding, 16-year-old Billy 5000 (voiced by Jack Corbett  of NPR’s “Planet Money” TikTok) has left critics enthralled.
