Go Fo(u)rth and taste on this Independence Day weekend
The holiday has sabotaged some of the regularly scheduled Friday tastings (sigh …) but there’s plenty going on to slake the thirst of Miami Valley wine enthusiasts over the coming week. Note there are some tastings and events coming up to benefit the family of Todd Nikolai. And Bruning’s Wine Cellar will have a Grand Opening wine tasting next Friday, July 11 from 5-8 pm with light hors d’oeuvres for $25. The Bruning’s folks would like you to RSVP by Monday, July 7 at 426-4950 if you’d like to attend. The shop is at 1481 North Fairfield Road in Beavercreek.
