Cincinnati Wine Events 10/12 – 10/18

For now it seems as if the weather has turned and fall has finally arrived. I hesitate to get too excited. An indian summer might be right around the corner. Festivals and Halloween are on the horizon, as well as some great autumn food events.

As usual, it’s a big list of events, so we’ve compiled it on one page for your reading pleasure. (For information on Dayton, you can refer to Mark’s blog at Uncorked.) If you know of tastings or events that we missed in the Cincinnati area, or if we have incorrect information, please email us and we’ll add it to the list.

You may note that the tastings in KY are mostly free, and the tastings in Ohio charge at least .25. It’s illegal for a retailer to give alcohol away in Ohio, so they charge you, but many times it’s a nominal fee.

Tell them we sent you, and happy tasting!

As usual, the Friday photo is brought to you from the talented folks at Cincy Images.
