Superb pinots, Super Saturday, and a superior music tip
Pinot Noirs rule this amazing tastings list that comes to Uncorked courtesy of a Dayton-based wine listserv: check out the Bruning’s, DLM Springboro and Jungle Jim’s special pinot tastings, all on Saturday. I had a chance on Wednesday to taste the four pinot noirs on Bruning’s tasting bar this Saturday, and all four were pure pinot pleasure. For a broader spectrum of wine pleasure all in one location, Arrow Wine’s Far Hills store is hosting a “Super Saturday” tomorrow — always a hit.
Now I know I’m not a music critic, but … if you’ve never seen Jim Volk perform live, head to Spinoza’s tonight (Friday, July 30) in the Mall at Fairfield Commons from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. (great selection of craft beers) and listen to this guy play. Here’s how Spinoza’s owner Glen Brailey describes Volk’s music:
If you haven’t experienced the guitar wizardry of Jim Volk, then you are in for a real treat when he returns to the Spinoza’s-Cincinnati Bell Wireless Stage on Friday, July 30th at 7:00 pm. Jim’s unique finger-style playing along with extensive vamping and looping creates an unforgettable tapestry of music that will have your jaw dropping in amazement! No cover.
Glen’s description is right on the money.
Between the wine and the entertainment, is this a great place to live or what?
