🍷 Is a 92-point wine always the best choice?

Not necessarily.

This Thursday morning at Small Business Connect, guest speaker Trent Mayers will explain why a highly rated wine isn’t automatically the right wine for your dinner.
You’ll discover why context matters more than numbers and how food can completely change the way a wine tastes.
