Greetings fellows Tasters and Runners! Lots of things happening in Champoo Banana this weekend, including our Complimentary Wine Tasting from 12:00-4:00 PM of course! Running or not running, that is the question!
Well… Even if you run, nothing can keep you from tasting just a little bit after the race! Every year, I always have customers who have been running and are happy to be rewarded with a sip of wine! We have a nice line up - we’ll start with the Pasqua Pinot Grigio; then we have the Sisters Forever Unoaked Chardonnay made by the Donati Winery; the Coppola Pinot Noir; and the Prisoner Wine Company Zinfandel. Cheers to the runners!

Votre Serviteur,
Laurent
