Springtime thoughts turn to the fermented juice of the grape
Wow, once again, lots of GREAT stuff going on this weekend and beyond … big-time California winemaker at Arrow, brewmasters at DLMs, mouth-watering snacks on Saturday at Cuvee to match with a selection of fine wines, a wine dinner upcoming at l’Auberge featuring the cuisine of Hungary and Bulgaria, another wine dinner down in the southern part of the valley that will pit California wines against French wines, a four-year vertical of Merryvale Profile at DLM Springboro, a new tasting schedule at Trader Joe’s, and tonight, a wine from one of the best winemakers on the planet, J.L. Chave from the Hermitage region of France will cross the lips of tasters who stop by at Jay’s Kitchen Door.
Good Golly Miss Molly, we are blessed.
All available for your viewing, planning and tasting pleasure with a click of the mousepad on the “continue reading” link, thanks to the nothing-less-than-heroic efforts of a Dayton-based listserv that compiles this information. Cheers!
