Here’s the best March Madness wine-tasting list in the history of the world
This list of Dayton-area wine tastings and events — which comes to Uncorked via a tireless and heroic wine listserv that compiles it — just keeps getting better and better and better. We have an important new addition this week: Kroger’s in Englewood, whose wine department is extensive. Note also that Charlie and Molly Meeker of Meeker Vineyards will be at Cork & Vine on York Commons Boulevard in the Miller Lane area for a drop-in tasting of their wines from 5:30 to 8:30 tonight (March 20).
Take a moment and feast your eyes on the incredible plethora of selections available to Miami Valley wine enthusiasts. I believe this list would be the envy of any region in the country. See if you agree.
