Wine Tastings will resume Thursday January 10th from 5 to 6:30p.m. $10 Door Prize from Mudtown Eat & Drink given at every tasting! We want to start the New Year with a fresh approach with our Wine Tastings. Beginning with the January 10th Tasting we will be working with a few Restaurants in the Vestavia Hills area to get familiar with their menu & specials. As you know a tasting is a sampling of products. The same applies to the food, as we are not serving dinner just sampling a couple of menu items. January 10th we will have Parmesan Chicken with Creamy Sage Sauce from Super Suppers in Vestavia Hills. They will be giving 10% off Entrees to people that attend this tasting on this night only. Hope to see you all here!
