It’s a week with some great dining choices as some of our finest independently owned restaurant are presenting dinners paired with amazing wines. Wine tasting dinners can really help you learn about wine; and they are a great social event, too! Most wine dinners are hosted family style, which means you’ll be seated at one long table. This makes for great conversations and fun! Here are 3 choices, and if you are interested, please call and reserve quickly, as these will sell out quickly.
