56 Degrees, one of the best wine shops in the country, hosted our first wine dinner at The Pluckemin Inn last year. It was such a success that 56 Degrees wanted to do it again this year.

The dinner is this Wednesday, July 27th 7pm at The Pluckemin Inn, Bedminster, NJ.

For those able to attend, please call 908-953-0900 or send email to 56degreewine@56degreewine.com. It was sold out last year and I expect it will be sold out again this year.
