September 7, 2010- October 12, 2010: Gordon's Fine Wines and Liquors is hosting a "Sip and Savor Spanish Wines" series from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm each Tuesday, starting on September 7 and ending on October 12th. They invite you, and your friends, to their location in Waltham (894 Main Street) to taste wines from the different regions of Spain, while different instructors each session will be on deck to discuss the wines, and impart a little knowledge with your tasting. Personally- that's the way I feel any learning should take place- with a little vino! To top it all off- they will also have tapas platters from Solea Restaurant for you to sample- and sop up some of the wine!
Each session is $20.00, and they are offering packages as well- three for $55.00 and 6 for $105.00. Please call 781-893-1900 extension 3 to sign up, or visit www.gordonswine.com

I wish I could go to that author event, it sounds so interesting! I am taking a class on thursday nights during the academic year, so I can't make it. I might pick up the book anyway, though!
