Swirlin' Dervish, Wines of South America Tuesday, September 4, 6:30 to 8pm

Linda Smith from Republic Beverage joins Swirl for tasting of Chilean and Argentinian wines of indigenous and international varietals, allowing us to experience the true flavor profiles of the regions. Tastings are limited to 40 people. Please call to reserve a spot.

Swirlin' in the Community, Fund Raiser for National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Tuesday, September 18, 6:30 to 8pm
Swirl Wines has started a team that will be riding the MS Tour 150 on October 6th and 7th. As a community-minded business, we want to make a difference in the fight against MS, and feel that riding 150 miles is nowhere near as difficult as confronting a lifetime with multiple sclerosis.
Meet the team, taste 6 fabulous wines, and support a great cause! The Team Swirl goal is to raise a minimum of $5000 to fight MS and hope that you will support our efforts. Proceeds from this evening will go to the National MS Society, and if you’d like to make an additional donation, please bring a check made out to the National MS Society.
If you can’t join us this Tuesday, but would like to make a donation, please send a check made payable to: National MS Society Mail and mail to: Swirl Wines
