Wine tastings capture spring in a glass
Spring hasn’t exactly sprung, but it sure is trying. Perhaps we can nudge it along a bit if we awaken from our hibernation and drop in on one of the many, many, many wine tastings and events across the Miami Valley and southwest Ohio.
We’ve got the list, which has grown by one venue this week with the addition of Village Cellars in Lebanon (there is always room for more wine tastings, don’t you think?).
This amazing list comes to Uncorked courtesy of a Dayton-based wine listserv, and it’s as inviting as a warm spring day:
