Let’s look PAST Christmas for just a moment, crazy as that may sound. This list confirms there will be life after the holiday. Check out the Champagne Soiree at DLM Oakwood on Dec. 27, and the 5-week wine class at Bruning’s Wine Cellar that starts in January under the expert tutelage of Michael Freeman. And the Shafer dinner and Bordeaux luncheon coming in February and March at Jay’s. LOTS to look forward to, and you’re reading about them here thanks to the indefatigable Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles this information and allows us to use it here. Enjoy!
