Wine Wandering Wino-Oktoberfest Edition
Posted by Chris Chamberlain on Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 1:27 PM
There's finally a little nip in the air, so why shouldn't you enjoy a little nip in your glass? This week the Wandering Wino has the skinny on international tastings for you as well as a big fund raiser featuring your winless Tennessee Titans. Hopefully we can turn their luck around.
Nashville Lifestyles and Keith Bulluck present the annual "In Vino Veritas" event Monday, October 12th at Sambuca. Proceeds benefit Bulluck's "Believe and Succeed Foundation." Tickets are $100.00 and are available here. Come sample some great wines from around the world and rub shoulders with several Titans' players. (Well, unless you're really tall, you may only actually be able to rub shoulders with Rob Bironas.)
