It’s on at 8:30 pm ET: @snoothmedia is hosting a snack party featuring sweet #Bordeaux wines! This is a tasting with a twist - we’ll be trying the wines with savory bites rather than the traditional desserts. I, for one, can’t wait! #snacktime #winetasting #wineandfood #sauternes #loupiac #cadillac #goldenbordeaux
