A whole new meaning to March Madness
How else can we explain the astonishing quality and variety of wines that local wine shops, grocers and restaurants are offering up for our tasting pleasure this weekend and beyond? They’re mad. There’s no other explanation.
Or could it be that they just love us?
Let’s presume it’s the latter …
Each week, this list seems to reach new heights, though this week, it looks like it reached new Heitz. As always, this useful information comes to Uncorked via a Dayton-based wine listserv, which compiles it, which makes Uncorked deliriously happy. Click on “continue reading” to take a peek at the sheer madness …. Cheers! Mark Fisher
