Every month People’s Liquor Warehouse in Apponaug hosts in-store wine seminars. Tastings are guided by Marc “the Wine Guy,” who is the store’s resident wine expert. Each class includes complimentary wine samples, information on important wine regions or topics, and food pairings supplied by Atomic catering. Industry experts and guest speakers also appear from time to time.
Friendly and knowledgeable, Marc’s presentations are fun and informative. Both the novice and the connoisseur will gain new insights as they find the perfect wine for their palate.
Wines range in style, but they are of high quality and value. Attendees also get great discounts on many of the store’s wide selection of wines when purchasing at the event.
