41st Annual Barrel Tasting 2nd Weekend
Members of the Wine Road would like to welcome you to our wineries and lodgings for an exciting weekend of wine tasting. It’s all about the WINE…many wineries offer “futures” on their barrel samples. This is a chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months from now. Many wines are so limited, buying futures is your only chance to purchase them.
