It's Summer and the Wine is Flowing: What To Do This Week-End


Summer is here and the wine is flowing.

Today's email is a run-down of what's-up-where around town this week-end.

But it's far from an exhaustive list.

Which means you are bound to find more wine to-do's in your own neck of the woods.

(Find something, or know of something, you want to share? Please
drop us a line.)

Go on. Find a few. Or make your own.

Just get out, breathe the air, and let it flow.
