Holiday season brings special wine tastings
Special holiday wine events are among the highlights of the world’s best wine tastings, dinners and events list, which comes to Uncorked via the herculean efforts of the Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles it.
In addition to the regularly scheduled daily and weekly tastings, check out the Dec. 16 holiday tasting at Cork & Vine near Miller Lane, and make plans for the week after Christmas, when DLM Oakwood will host its annual Champagne and sparkling wine tasting on Dec. 28, and Bella Vino in Springboro has a port dinner scheduled for Dec. 29.
There is no doubt: blessings abound for Miami Valley wine enthusiasts, and this list confirms it. Read on and just TRY to disagree:
