Broke Ass Red Wine

Broke Ass Red Wine 2010

Wine Tasting

I stopped at Dolce Vita Wine Shop in Chaska, Minnesota today for their weekly Friday wine tasting. This wine shop is in an old train depot. They have a good selection of wine, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Every Friday, a representative from a wine distributor is there with a selection of wines …
