A local liquor store (Friendly Discount Liquor) in Northbridge MA has
various events every couple of weeks. Yesterday was the Spring Wine
Tasting. It was much more than I was expecting.

They had 17 tables manned by the distributors of the wines and each had
a variety to choose from. You could have tasted 78 different items.
All were on sale and prices ranged mostly $10 to $15 with some
exceptions. They also had complimentary sandwiches, cheese platters,
fruits, etc.

When you went in, they gave you a booklet listing each table and the
wines offered. Also tasting notes on the wine. You also had a number
and if you wanted to buy a wine, they put a sticker on the bottle with
your number and they were all ready for you when you wanted to leave.
Very efficient and you did not have to carry the bottles around.

This was free but they do have some things you pay for, like Oyster and
wine pairing. At $10 it is probably a good deal too.

It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours and stock up the cellar.

You can get into trouble if you don't spit. Especially at a large wine tasting. What did you wind up buying?
