August thirst, and a September benefit down south
A wicked combination of computer problems and human error resulted in a delay in posting this tastings list, for which I apologize. While many of these tastings have already occurred, some of the other tastings and dinners are still to come, so I’ll post this even though I’m tardy (besides, this list may give you the name of that crisp little chardonnay you tasted and liked yesterday but can’t remember the name of).
This list comes to Uncorked courtesy of a Dayton-based wine listserv, which painstakingly compiles the information and delivered it to me in plenty of time.
Here’s one that isn’t on the list but is well worth considering, if you’re inclined for a road trip: My blogging colleague Michelle, author of My Wine Education, wants you to know about a special wine event at the Party Source that will benefit the Krystal Pepper Memorial Scholarship Fund, set up in memory of Michelle’s sister. The Sept. 11 tasting will focus on French Reds and winemakers from up and coming wine regions in France.
I don’t think I’ve been to the Party Source, just over the river in northern Kentucky, since David Schildknecht oversaw the store’s wine program — many years ago. Perhaps it’s time to migrate southward and check the place out again.
Meanwhile, here’s the list of Dayton-area wine tastings, dinners and other events to help slake your August thirst …
