Cincinnati Wine Events 11/02 – 11/08

I haven’t done one of these event listings in a couple weeks due to our family crisis. My apologies. Because I’m so behind, it’s almost as if I’m starting over. If I’m missing events, please let me know. I can’t believe it’s November. The holidays are almost here. I lost autumn completely. September and October slipped down the rabbit hole without my even realizing it. So let’s get started with November’s listings.

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!

Cheers!
