Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Oct 1


Your host is Gino Pisani of Angelini Wines. Gino is a fun guy to have around the store and is always complimentary to the people he meets. He talks quickly and often compares the person he is talking with to one movie star or another. "Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Richard Geere?" He loves to interact with anyone he meets and calls me the bane of his existance because I always play the straight laced guy with him. Furling his brow and saying "Good afternoong Mr. Monteleone", mocking me for not joining him with his antics. All week the staff has been looking forward to his arrival here today and for the next three hours you can stop by to catch the show for yourself. Beautiful fall day to get out of the house after the torrent of water that fell last night across the state.
