Once again Flag Day and Father's Day are almost upon us, and it's time again for us all to ask, "What is Flag Day?" and "What the hell do I do with my dad on Father's Day?"

Well this year at Green Pig Bistro it will be a celebration of the diversity of America's wine producing regions. Come celebrate the "Grape American Roadtrip" as we're joined by our friends from Vino 50. We'll be featuring a tasting lineup of All-American estate-grown wines from around the country, including: a sparkling pineapple wine from Hawaii; a pinot grigio from Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula; a chardonnay with grapes grown in NY State and produced/bottled in Brooklyn; a cabernet from Southern Arizona; a "Bordeaux" blend from the Washington State-Canada border; and a Willamette Valley pinot noir produced under pristine conditions.

Andrew Stover of Vino 50 and Beth Wolfe of Siema Wines will be on hand to pour these fantastic wines and help introduce you to the oenological backyard that you never knew you had.

TWO Dates: June 14th OR June 17th in the bar area

Time: 5:30-9

Cost: $22 (advance), $26 (day of) for a tasting pour of each of the 6 wines plus treats!
