Bin Ends: Wine Seminars

Bin Ends, one of my favorite wine stores, is introducing a weekly series of in-store tasting seminars exploring everything fun about fine wine! Created by wine guru John Hafferty, co-owner of Bin Ends, the events are designed to be engaging and unintimidating. Each week, guests will enjoy simple wine-friendly food pairings as Hafferty fills their glasses and opens their eyes to wine topics, such as up-and-coming growing regions, winemaking techniques and rare varietals.
