Gearing up for the holidays with wine & beer tastings

What better way to gear up for Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) than to taste some wines or sample some beers? It’s the best way to choose what to serve with the holiday meal. Lots of great German wines on this list (Check out DLM Springboro’s Saturday tasting), some nouveau Beaujolais that was just released yesterday, some great holiday beers, and more. Here’s your road map to local tastings, which comes to us via the heroic efforts of a Dayton-based wine listserv. Read, attend, enjoy!
