A wine-tastings list to rev us up for Thanksgiving Week
What better way to whet our appetites for Thanksgiving dinner than to enjoy an aperitif of sorts at one of the Dayton area’s wine bars or wine shops? The following list of tastings, dinners and events — which comes to Uncorked courtesy of the Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles it — lays out all of your options. And there are many!
Also, don’t forget about the Ohio River Valley Barrel Tasting Tour information at the very end of the tastings list — check out this map of the wineries for more.
