Okay, so I “borrowed” the title from a DM Blog comment, but I thought it was appropriate! Last month the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival brought over 4000 people to the Decatur Square to taste over 4oo different beers. So, to be fair to the wine drinkers in the area, the Decatur Arts Alliance is presenting the 8th annual Decatur Wine Festival this coming Saturday. There will be over 350 different wines for your tasting pleasure, plus 14 restaurants offering samples of their foods and music all afternoon. And all of this plus a commemorative wine tasting glass for only $30! Interested? Get your tickets here!

Price of admission includes a commemorative wine glass, food sampling from local restaurants and great musical entertainment. Ernie Quarles and Shaun Anderson kick off the day with some great soul and R&B, followed by the Heaven Davis Band.
