Cincinnati Wine Events 12/07-12/13

Happy No-More-Prohibition Week! This past Wednesday marked the 75^th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. Celebrate this weekend and have a drink. Just don’t drive. 

A special request: As you start hearing about New Year’s Eve activities, please forward the information on to me. If it’s relevant to our usual events, I’ll make sure to post it. Thanks!

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!
