Your hosts are Francois Thienpont and Jones Winery.
So as we get started today we have Francois (pictured) along with Alain Blanchon (not pictured) showing some french selections on this beautiful fall day. Later we will have local winery, Jones Family winery with some terrific local flavors. Lots going on at the store as we celebrate 70yrs. Thanks to all of our fiends for stopping in to see us these past few weeks and we look forward to continuing the celebration for the next week or so. Check last nights post from the beer tasting for your chance to win an adirondack chair by saying something fun or nice.
