Plenty of folks are giving away glasses of wine these days, but Charlie Palmer is giving away bottles to celebrate twenty years of Aureole. From Monday until the restaurant’s last night (May 30) before its move to One Bryant Park, those who dine Monday through Wednesday will be given a complimentary bottle of one of Palmer’s private-label wines for every two three-course prix fixe dinners ($85) they order. Have at it.

Update: Aureole is also announcing that it has hired pastry chef Jennifer Yee, who worked with the restaurant’s current chef, Christopher Lee, at Gilt. And if you want to see construction photos of the new Aureole, the restaurant has a Flickr stream.
