Saturday In-Store Tastings

We’ve got some interesting tastings coming up this month and hope you can make a few.  With one eye on the season and the other on some new wine arrivals we’re excited about, we’re out to make Saturday afternoons a bit more exciting for all concerned.  In case you’ve forgotten, we hold forth each Saturday from 2:00 – 5:00.  In addition to some wonderful wines we slice fresh baked baguettes from our friends at the Henion Bakery and prepare special tasting sheets with information on what we’re opening.  You can take them home, fold them into paper airplanes, whatever.  All of this compliments of Amherst Wines.  Hope to see you.
