Lily's Bistro adds to Dayton area's best wine-tastings list

Mark Fisher, Staff Writer

Lily’s Bistro is bringing back it “Patio Pounders” wine-tasting event, and it is just one of the MANY opportunities coming up for Dayton-area folks to get their wine on this weekend, next week and beyond. Read on, and you’ll see what we mean.

>> 3 fabulous destinations for tasting wine in Dayton

The Lily’s event will be held Tuesday, April 10 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in Lily’s back courtyard patio (or in the bar area if Ohio’s April weather betrays us AGAIN) in Dayton’s Oregon District. Wine samples are priced at $3, and a menu of happy hour snacks will be available, and the full menu is available as well. There is no cost to attend, but registering in advance offers discounted samples ($10 for four tastes). More information can be found at this Facebook events link.

>> Here’s why ‘Dayton is for Livers’ — and how you can help

“Enjoying wine on the patio with friends is one of our favorite spring and summer activities,” Emily Mendenhall, owner of Lily’s Bistro, said in a release. “Our spring night of Patio Pounders is about enjoying wine in a laid-back atmosphere and getting to taste a variety of wines and stock up on some of your favorites so that you’re prepared for nice days.”

Recommended for you

Held out on the popular back courtyard patio (or in the bar area if Ohio April weather doesn’t cooperate), attendees will be treated to a selection of wine samples priced at $3 each, regular Tuesday specials on glasses and bottles of wine, and a menu of happy hour snacks (the full menu is available as well). There is no cost to attend, however registering in advance offers discounted samples.

We’re offering early registration for $10 that gets you four tastes of your choice,” Mendenhall said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun, and we’ll be showcasing several wines like the Colume Torrontes-an amazing floral wine with slight brininess-and the Babich Chardonnay, an unoaked chardonnay from New Zealand, from our new wine list as well as some special bottles just for the event.”

For those interested in attending Patio Pounders, the event is free admittance with samples costing $3 per each, and takes place at Lily’s Bistro on Tuesday, April 10 from 5:30-8pm.

Mcnab Dry Rose…

Dry Rose made from the Grenache grapes. This is dry and very clean. Red fruits from beginning to end.

Ferngrove Sauvignon Blanc Semillon…

Another western Australia wine. This one is more like a White Bordeaux in style, Great citrus fruits and a slight herbal note.

Jacob’s Creek Moscato…..

Aussy Moscato for the sweet wine lover. Nectar fruits like peaches and nectarines.
