Women Winemaker Tastings: This Weekend!
March is Womens' History Month, so we are kicking things off right. This week in the shop we are highlighting some of our favorite women-winemakers. Stop by the shop on either Thursday or Friday evening, or Saturday afternoon to taste through some terrific wines!
Winemaking is definitely still a boys' club. But, some of our very favorite wines are made by the talented women who work hard to break ground on their own vineyards.
Swing by to celebrate great wine and talented women! As always, the wines we are tasting will be 15% off for newsletter subscribers.
Thursday, March 5th from 5-7pm
