    I can’t believe that the Cincinnati International Wine Festival has been happening for 30 years and benefits 35 local charities. I’ve never been, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it either. I like drinking wine. I love learning about wine as I try different types I might not otherwise know about. This sounds like an amazing date night opportunity for my husband and I. Thanks for sharing this super cool event. I hope I can go!
