Second time I’ve asked this question (got NO response on the one) –
As long as you’re listing wine tastings, why don’t you include Wine World –
fun group, nice place and free.
Actually, I did respond to you last week in the comments section, directly under your comment. I pointed out three Wine World events that were listed for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on last week’s Weekend Roundup post.
In today’s post, I mentioned the Wine World event happening on Saturday, featuring the Jones Soda promotion and the movie.
I’ve sent you an e-mail as well to ensure you’ve received your response.
