Interested in learning more about wine for free?

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.
