Across the Table with Ryan Oaks

It’s not uncommon for kids to be so in love with their pet or animals in general, that they pledge to become a veterinarian or a marine biologist when they grow up. What is probably more uncommon is for a child to make his parents search for hours after fearing that the family car had clipped a stray dog. Ryan Oaks’ parents never did find that dog. But not for lack of trying. Now that he’s the owner of Mini-Critters in Sioux falls, his father says that incident laid the path his son would eventually follow. That’s only the beginning of what is a true love story of animals, as I found out in this week’s Across the Table at JJ’s Wine, Spirits and Cigars.

At JJ’s they like to say they provide “an enhanced adult beverage experience” and we think that’s just perfect to sum up the great food and drinks and the great people you’ll run into at JJ’s Wine, Spirits and Cigars. They’re located at 3000 west 57th Street in Sioux Falls. you can find out more about their specials and events, by checking out their website at jjswine.com.

Have you seen the game room at JJ’s Axes & Ales? They have two pool tables in there, along with three electronic dartboards and Video Lottery! And when you purchase a “Private Cage” Axe Throwing Package, they will throw in a few games of pool or darts, along with your axe-throwing experience!
