Four wine experts, all Certified Sommeliers, will be on hand to provide information on each of the wines presented and to answer questions about each wine. “One of the criteria we had when choosing the wines is that they would be available at our local liquor stores. Of the wines we will serve that day, all but three are currently available locally,” Tanner added.
