Thirsty Thursday Tasting – Big Boy Rhones- Chapel Hill. Thursday (duh!) 5-7 pm. Free!

I will spare you the formality of introductions.  You know Rhone wines and love them.  This week we are visiting some old favorites and checking out some new friends.  Old and new alike, it’s great juice.  Not convinced?  Would a 92 pt Chateaunef-du-Pape catch your attention?  Thought it might.  Stop in and try these beauties.
