Wines among the tulips and daffodils
A wildly busy week for wine dinners next week, so if you can clone yourself and be two places at once, you’ll eat and drink fabulously well. (There are even more wine dinners listed in today’s Dayton Daily News Go! section, by the way). Many thanks to the Dayton-based wine listserv that painstakingly compiles these listings for its members, and which allows Uncorked to copy and paste each week for this web site’s readers. For info on Cincinnati-area wine tastings and events, go to my friend Michelle’s My Wine Education blog. And for the Dayton-based listserv’s list, click on “continue reading” below.
Cheers!

Mark, what’s more important to you about going to a wine tasting, the wines being poured, or the folks you see there? For me it’s the people. The wines sometimes aren’t the best, but the people I get to see and talk to each week are always interesting.
