The best Dayton-area wine-tastings are right here

Each week, the folks (or more precisely, folk) who oversee a local wine listserv compile a list of the Dayton area’s wine tastings, wine dinners, beer tastings and other special events and send it out as an email blast, and allow us to copy and paste that list here for you to enjoy (and to be astonished by, because this region punches well above its weight class when it comes to wine tastings!). Plenty of special sparking-wine events here, perfectly timed, don’t you think? Read, attend, enjoy …
