A weekend of wine & romance
Valentine’s Day just happens to fall on a Saturday this year (I bet you already know that …), and local wine shops and restaurants have embraced the Valentine’s Day spirit with gusto. Heck, one wine shop — Bella Vino in Springboro — is even having a Valentine’s dinner. And Arrow Wine & Spirits has a Super-Saturday-style tasting. Yowzah!
