SPIRITED (Lenox, Ma) In-store Tasting Schedule from September 14th to October 12th by Philip S. Kampe

As I have 'Preached' in the past, the complimentary wine tasting events in the Berkshires is unmatched. As an attendee you begin your wine education

Take notes, ask questions (it is encouraged) and become wine knowledgeable.

The three wine merchants who have created this for you include:

SPIRITED Wines, Nejaimes's Wines (Lenox & Stockbridge) and Kelly's Package Store (Dalton).

My wife, Maria & I, attend each week to learn, as well as to sample the new and ofter older vintages.

The goal, obviously, is to keep the business in the Berkshires. With no sales tax on wine and sale prices, who could shop elsewhere!
