We all know that Village Wines moved into their new space in July and that they had some new ideas in store for us. They will have a “Featured Winery of the Month” in the back events room which will begin Labor Day weekend. They are off to a great start and Forgeron Cellars, from Walla Walla, is the first Featured Winery of the Month. Forgeron Cellars will be the Featured Winery of the Month for September and October. I love Marie-Eve’s wine and will be stopping in for a taste.
