Poke the recession in the eye, taste wine today

Is it nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of an outrageous economy, or should we take arms against the sea of troubles, and by tasting, end them?

That Billy-Bob Shakespeare had a way with words, didn’t he?

Here’s the bestest wine list in all of Dayton and the greater Miami Valley, and it comes to Uncorked courtesy of the Dayton-based wine listerv that compiles it, and, well, I, for one, am Thankful for that. With a capital T.

So by all means, use this list to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.
