There are some nice events coming up this week. The retailers are gearing up for the holidays. Around the first week of December, watch for some blow-out tasting events. In the meantime, check out what's coming up over the next week.
20 Brix is having an anniversary party all week, peppered with drink and menu specials and special events. Additionally, the week finishes off with the Jungle Jim's International Wine Festival on both Friday, Nov 13 and Saturday, Nov 14. Also on Nov 14 (but not listed because I only list through Friday), is the Taste of the World at the Aquarium. Get your tickets now for any of these events if you're interested.
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.
