More Bubbles!
Happy Holidays! This week there is not one, or two, or three, or even four but FIVE champagne tastings! If you love the bubbly you are in heaven! If you are up for the blind tasting challenge, Storyteller Wines will give discounts if you can blindly guess the region, varietal, year and producer of both a red and a white, and they are having a “Festivus” Fiesta Sunday night with Cameron Winery.
