Featured Cincinnati Wine Events, Mar 19 – 26

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

It’s a slow week as far as wine events go, although I’m sure I’ve missed things. But there are two big things next week, to make up for the lack of one-off events. First off, it’s Restaurant Week. You can go to any of the listed Greater Cincinnati Independent restaurants and get a 3-course dinner for $26.10. Restaurant week runs March 22 – 28.

Next weekend is also BeerFest! I’m pretty sure you’ll find Kevin, probably with the Hoperatives, at the Festival on Friday night. After all, BeerFest is to the Hoperatives what WineFest is to me. You’ll be amazed at this particular BeerFest. It’s in the convention center and sounds like it’s roughly the size of the WineFest. Yep, it’s that big but a whole lot cheaper. It runs March 26-28 and features over 130 different beers. Tickets are only $35. Buy your tickets online ahead of time though, as they’re capping the number of guests for each session.

As a note, I will be out of town all next week and through the next weekend (I’m missing BeerFest). I’m sort of crossing the country, from Seattle to Orlando and back to Cincinnati. Needless to say, there will not be a Featured Events post next week – I’ll be somewhere between the West and East Coast and probably jetlagged.

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.
