Favorite wine spot
Wine tasting- enjoy a generous flight of wine while catching up with friends or meeting some new ones! You most likely will end up sitting in here much longer than planned. There is large retail selection of excellent wines priced to compete with large box stores. Buy one or several on your way out :)
