If you can manage to save a little of each wine, we\u2019ll also be matching them with foods, following the tasting.<\/p>\n

Each couple is invited to bring one wine to share with dinner, which will follow.\u00a0 Since they are kindly not charging a corkage fee, we request that no discount cards or gift certificates be used to pay for dinner.<\/p>\n

See you there.<\/p>\n
