LOCAL WINE TASTINGS: Christmas impacts some events, but opportunities abound

We are grateful and appreciative to be able to pass along this amazing wine-tastings and special events list that comes to us via the heroic efforts of a local wine enthusiast! And I’ll let him take it from here:

“A number of the venues are not keeping to their usual tasting schedules due to the Holidays. Check below to see if what tasting your favorite venue may be doing this week. There are some specialtastings just for the holidays.”
