Corks & Forks, Arrow Octoberfest & ‘Super Saturday’ highlight weekend wine tastings

That tiny nip in the air just seems to make wine taste a little better, doesn’t it? You can test that hypothesis at any one of the following wine tastings and dinners, the list for which is compiled by a Dayton-based listserv and shared with Uncorked and thus, the world. Lots of fun stuff in store, including a first-ever Corks & Forks event Sunday up near Cork & Vine adjacent to MIller Lane, a big Octoberfest event at the Arrow in Centerville tonight (Sept. 18), a first wine-and-food event at Kroger in Kettering also tonight, and a “Super Saturday” tasting at Arrow Wine & Spirits’ Far Hills Avenue store tomorrow (Sept. 19).

Here’s the info on the “Corks & Forks”:

Corks & Forks — a food, wine and beer festival benefitting four Dayton-area non-profit organizations — will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at the corner of North Dixie Highway and York Commons Boulevard just off Miller Lane. Attendees can sample from 100 wines and from beers from a Belgian Beer Cafe, and food from 15 Miami Valley restaurants. The event also will feature a silent auction and live auction. Proceeds benefit Miami Valley Grown, the Blake LaForce Fund, the Wahid Abdullah Memorial Fund and Reach Out Montgomery County. Tickets are $45 in advance, $55 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.corksandforks.org or at the Cork & Vine Wine Market & Lounge, 3452 York Commons Blvd. For more information, call Lisa Grigsby at (937) 572-1376 or Shawn Grow at (937) 603-3263.
