Wine Loft worth checking out, whether you’re a wine geek or not
Here’s a review I wrote for today’s DDN Go section on The Wine Loft at The Greene. The review focuses a bit more on the food, but doesn’t neglect the wine service at the area’s newest wine bar/restaurant.
Have you been? What did YOU think of The Wine Loft?

Dayton-area wine tastings to warm the soul
Battling the frigid temps, the Dayton-based wine listserv has once again overcome the odds and cobbled together the finest list of wine tastings, dinners and special events available anywhere on the web, and has once again graciously shared it with Uncorked.
One look at these events, and you won’t stay cold for long. In particular, check out the Jan. 16 fund-raising event to fight cystic fibrosis at Taj Ma Garaj. Last year’s event was a roaring success, and a lot of fun.
Click on “continue reading” if the list doesn’t appear immediately below, and start making plans to warm the soul.
