Great wine, great food — what else is there?
Plenty of fun on tap in the wine-tastings list, not only this weekend (Covey Run’s winemaker pouring at Arrow South), but also next week: Check out the Tuesday night tasting at Cuvee, which comes with the added bonus of Chris Cavender’s dishes to accompany the wines. Where else in the country can you enjoy Grilled Escolar on Asian Slaw, Braised Rabbit Tacos, Cabernet Beef Sandwich, and Double Dutch Chocolate Cake at a casual, drop-in, order-only-what-you-want tasting of premium Napa Valley wines?
Nowhere but Dayton, Ohio, dudes. (Well, Bellbrook, actually). Ain’t it cool?
Also today, check out the Lounge Lizards’ review of the Wine Galley & Cafe at Third and Wayne downtown.
Click below on “continue reading” to view the wine tastings and special events list, which comes to Uncorked via a local wine listserv. And for tastings and events in the Cincinnati area, check out Michelle’s blog at My Wine Education.
We’ll start critiquing the Cincy WineFest later this weekend, so stop back …
Cheers!

This is a great place to go with a group. pick your bottles off the wall and pass them around at very reasonable prices. The wed night wine tastings are priced very fairly

great to see Dayton drinks good wine. I thought drive in liquor stores ruled there? Check out my wine odyssey blog.
