If you are looking for ground zero of the great wine events in the Twin Cities look no further than North Loop Wine & Spirits. We go regularly for their Friday night wine tastings. Then a couple times a year Lisa the great owner has a Grand Tasting. Grand is a great name for it. For about $30 they will have about a dozen tables manned/womaned by the regular Friday night tasting crew from some the best wine importers in town. Lisa also includes a great spread of food. For $30 you can taste over 75 wines, meet some fun people, have some great food and learn a some about wine. We rarely miss this mostly quarterly event.
