Women in Wine Tasting
Thursday 3/12
6:00-9:00pm
Public & General Restaurant
March is Women's History Month and what better way to celebrate it than by enjoying wines made by some of the wine industries' leading ladies. For $25 you'll be able to sample a flight of 6 wines and as always we will have bottle and full glass specials. Feeling a little hungry? Not to worry, we'll be featuring a special dish made famous by a female chef. Is wine not your thing? No problem, we'll be offering a special cocktail created just for the evening. Or really supplement the experience and try a little of everything! For each point of sale, a portion of the proceeds benefits the Women's National Liberation right here in Gainesville. No need to purchase a ticket, just hit that 'Going' button so we can staff and prepare accordingly. You can stop in anytime between 6-9pm to enjoy the evening's offerings. We had such a great time last year, we can't wait to do it again and celebrate all the wonderful things women have contributed to the wine world!
