Friday 6/15/12

My big brother casts a large shadow.
Not physically, at least not since he’s
lost so much weight in the last two years.
I mean the shadow of his vast wine
knowledge and experience.

But it’s time nonetheless for me to
step out of that shadow and offer up
a tasting of Jim’s Gems! These are
wines admired, loved, and chosen by me,
Jim Tobin.

I invite you to join us in appreciation
of these Gems this Friday, June 15th,
any time between 4 and 10 pm. The cost
is $15 and includes appetizers plus these:

to be able to pour them for you.
