Every year on February 18 we celebrate National Drink Wine Day. Wine brings people together over laughs and plain old good times. Wine also offers plenty of health benefits, including the possibility of lowering the risk of liver disease, heart attaches, and more. So, why not celebrate it whenever we can!
Whether you’re pairing a glass with your dinner or enjoying a few with friends, here are a few of NEPA’s wineries you can support.
