Featured Cincinnati Wine Events: Oct 10 – 16

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

It’s fall, and retailers know that you’re going to start thinking about the holidays soon. What does that mean for you? More tastings!

Last week I mentioned Water Tower Fine Wines in Mt Washington. I want to bring it up again only because I’m going to help out with the pouring this evening. It was packed last week, so they’re hoping for a great turnout again. I’m just there to pour – and learn. So come on out and say hello!

Thursday night is jam-packed with amazing option, but I want to point out a Party Source event that night: Bacon & Wine! No kidding! Six wines paired with interesting bacon from around the country. Bacon is a crazy popular meme anymore, so if you’re interested, make your reservation soon. Kevin & I will be out of town again (more on that next week), so you should really go in our place.

Please note that any tasting benefitting Breast Cancer Research/Awareness is highlighted with a pink ribbon.

Remember, all the recurring events, those dependable weekly tastings,
are displayed on our calendar. The one-time events are after the jump.

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