SUMMARY:Visuals Wine Tasting!

He’s also the Co-Founder & Co-Owner of Burial Beer Co. – and has spear-headed this phenomenal line of wines.\n\nThe honest truth — I bought a lot of his wine \nSo\, while our group last week really enjoyed the tasting\, I have more to share!

No RSVP required\, drop in anytime!\n\n(Both days\, the wine bar will be open regularly from 4-8pm\, and the full menu will still be available — including food — but the tasting will span 4:30-6:30pm both days.)
