The best comment of the week, and the tastings list welcomes a newbie
First of all, the comment of the week award most definitely goes to Ed, for his whimsical question regarding the wine list at SideBar. Bee-yoo-tee-full.
Secondly, I notice that embedded deep (VERY deep) in this week’s edition of The Best Damn Wine Tastings And Events List In The World — which Uncorked is honored to copy and paste from the Dayton-based wine listserv that compiles it every week — are upcoming events at Jungle Jim’s. An amazing, if a tad overwhelming, grocery store, with a very large wine department and some interesting events, including a first-ever “Jungle Jim’s International Wine Festival” to be held Friday night and Saturday night, Oct. 3-4. On Ohio 4 near Fairfield, Jungle’s is a bit of a drive for Dayton-area wine enthusiasts, but certainly worth checking out if you’ve never been.
