The Dayton area’s best wine-tastings list is right HERE

Check out the mouth-watering menus at the Jay’s Restaurant special events, both the Saturday anniversary luncheon and the Wednesday night beer dinner! I’ll miss the anniversary luncheon this year, but ONLY because I have a date with a certain 4-month-old who shares my last name. Don’t be like me. Call Jay’s and see if they have any spaces left. Then do the same for Arrow Far Hills’ Big Red tasting on Sunday night! Then peruse the rest of this amazing list, which comes to use via the downright historically heroic efforts of the Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles this information and allows us to copy and paste it here for your sheer joy. Read on and be astonished!
