Wine to soothe the gray days of February
It’s cold. It’s February. In Ohio.
But even in the depths of winter, we have the best damn wine-tastings list in the land, brought to us by the sunny Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles this list week in and week out, for which we are all thankful. Even in February. Especially in February.
Click on “continue reading” if the wine-tastings list doesn’t appear below. And for information regarding Cincinnati-area wine events, go to Michelle’s My Wine Education blog.
