The best wines for March Madness

Hey, we’ve got to have something to do between basketball games, right?

This week’s sterling list of wine tastings, dinners and special events comes to Uncorked via the exhaustive efforts of a Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles the events, an act not unlike herding cats, I’m told. For that we are thankful.

In addition to the fine events on the list below, make sure you check out The Winds Cafe’s Spanish Wine Dinner scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 23. Mary Kay Smith calls this her “favorite wine dinner of the year,” and you can check out the menu here.

I hope your brackets are flourishing … Click on “continue reading” if the tastings list doesn’t appear immediately below. Cheers!
