Our next tasting event will feature wines from one of our favorite wine countries – Spain! Tom Cwiklinski of Tastevin Wine Limited will join us in the shop on Wednesday, September 6 at 6 p.m. for a tour of Spanish wines that highlight the country’s diversity.

Each of these selections are from exceptional and noteworthy producers. If you are interested in the depth and nuance of Spanish wine, this tasting is not to be missed!
