The wonderful world of wine is complicated. Why not make it more accessible? Enter Secco Wine Bar and Wine 101. This week, there is white wine on the menu. From A to Z, or Chardonnay to Riesling as this case may be, you will become more familiar with acid and aging (along with other awesome wine things) with Matt Adkins of Williams Corner Wine. There will be snacks. Don’t sleep on the knowledge, there are only 12 seats.
