"Fine wine presents the perfect marriage between art and science, and making truly good wine is difficult for most to master," said Ogan. "Our event on Dec. 20 we will take an in-depth look at the process of wine making and explore the unique steps that go into creating each individual flavor. We are excited to have the opportunity to showcase a local company who has mastered the art form."
