Tip of the month:

As wine festival season kicks off, there are some general tips we have for those large public tasting events (click here for details):

  1. Dress practically: dark, comfortable clothing and flat shoes.

  2. Minimize what you carry.

  3. Plan and strategize. You can't taste everything.

  4. Eat to help keep your head clear.

  5. Spit so we all can get home safely.
