There is no better way to learn about wine than to hear from the source and to sample and compare.
Future LVAWS Chapter Tastings will be at a date/time and location To be Announced. Lee's Liquor has advised us they can no longer support club meetings on Fridays and Saturdays. RSVP to Gene Lowe (elowe@email.com).
Monthly tasting fees are: $8 per person, $15 per couple.
Patronize our host. On the night of the tasting, Lee's is offering a 10% discount to LVAWS meeting attendees. Currently Lee's is not charging the Club for use of the meeting room. We want to make sure they see good sales volume on the night of our tastings so that they will continue to let us use the room for no charge.
