Upcoming Friday Tastings

Friday, December 24 and 31
Bell will host a wine tasting on Friday, December 24th (Christmas Eve) that will start in the
late afternoon and, depending on participation and the recognized need to be with family
and friends, may end a bit earlier than usual.

In addition, Bell's New Year's Eve tasting is LEGENDARY. Attended by newcomers and
regulars alike, this "pot luck" tasting event starts in the early afternoon and goes until the
last taster is still standing (or thereabouts). Participants typically bring a dish to share or
buy a bottle of bubbly to pair. Of course, we'll do our part by popping a few corks as well!
