In case you haven't gotten the news another way yet: Orlando-area readers should mark their calenders for next week's winemaker tasting at our Oviedo store. Rick Boyer, winemaker for Solaire and Robert Mondavi Private Selection wines, will be there from 5:30 to 7:30 pouring wine (an added bonus: if you buy a bottle while he's there, he'll sign it for you) and chatting with us. The day is Tuesday, March 10. You can get bio details and the store address from our special events page. Yours truly is going to try to trek up there, so hopefully next Wednesday's post will include some interesting bits from that.

We love hosting winemakers tastings because it's really a lot of fun to talk to the person responsible for making the wine.
