Dusting Off and Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for Wine Tasters
A full and complete list of tastings has been restored now that the holi-daze have passed. And as you can see below, the folks at Arrow Wine & Spirits on Far Hills have most definitely gotten into the spirit of welcoming us back after taking some very busy holiday weeks off. My salivary glands are already …
…working overtime. As always, this tastings list comes to us courtesy of a local wine listserv. So feast your eyes now, and your palates later. Cheers! Mark Fisher

Mark: In addition to the listserv you mentioned, there is a free, post-it-yourself website where people in the food, wine, beer and spirits business worldwide can publicize their tastings, dinners, festivals, classes and other events: LocalWineEvents.com.

Does Arrow realize that New Year’s 1960 has been long gone for over 40 years?

Arrow’s special “welcome back” tasting sounds as yummy as … ummm… bubble-gum-flavored mouthwash.

Did I detect a tongue planted firmly in the cheek over the arrow offerings?
