Featured Cincinnati Wine Events: June 6 – June 12

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I'm wrapping up one busy week and heading into a second crazy week. In fact, until the end of the month, I'll be lucky to breathe. On the up side, my time is all billable.

7 Days for SIDS kicks off next week. If you don't remember, 7 Days for SIDS is a week-long series of events from which proceeds go to help fund research into SIDS. The organization was created by Jean-Robert and Annette de Cavel after losing their first daughter. You can read about all the events – and the discounts/donations from various restaurants – on their web site.

The Fleurs et Vin is Sunday up in Dayton. This is a popular event, formerly the Fleurs de Fete – sort of, and several of our local wineries (and local paella) are participating in this wine festival and benefit. There will be more than 300 wines, gourmet food, music, and auctions.

There aren't that many one-time, special events this week, but what
I found, I listed after the jump. If I missed something – something
local to Cincinnati that is
- let me know! Enjoy!

For information on what's going on in Dayton, you can refer to Mark's blog at Uncorked.
