Seven new restaurants for San Diegans to fill their plates and fill their glasses.

Guthrie CiderWorks husband-and-wife team Horacio and Sara Devoto, producers of small-batch, dry and semi-dry ciders, will open a tasting room at its Miramar cidery. Guests can stop by starting at 3:30 p.m. Friday to sample four cider varieties: Cherry Zinga, Rubus Citrus, Maloose, Truly Dry, in addition to rotating ciders. The dry cider is crisp and clean, with bright apple and light oak flavors, while the semi-dry cider is full-bodied with citrus and aromatic notes. “It’s going to be a great destination,” said the Devotos. “We’ve developed some really interesting ciders for the tasting room and are creating a relaxed and casual environment to enjoy our ciders.” 6496 Marindustry Dr., Suite D, Miramar. guthriecider.com

Wingstop, a franchise “putting flavor first since 1994,” will launch a storefront in Oceanside. From 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, guests who stop by for a first glimpse of the new location will receive free six-piece wing combos (wings plus seasoned fries and a fountain drink). The menu will offer bone-in and boneless wings with 11 bold, distinct flavors, including Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian, Garlic Parmesan, Hickory Smoked BBQ, Louisiana Rub and Mango Habanero. The eatery officially opens its doors at 11 a.m. Wednesday. 35 Douglas Dr., Oceanside. wingstop.com
