Virtual vineyard

Join Cole Sisson for “the virtual vineyard” Sunday, Feb. 20 at 5 p.m. by Zoom as he guides us through tasting six Chilean wines from two different producers: classic, large production house, Montes and the small scale two-person operation, Gonzáles Bastías, which specializes in natural and experimental wines. Whether a seasoned wine taster or someone unfamiliar with what notes you are tasting, all are welcome to have a fun time sampling wine at home with friends online.
