I spent a chunk of my weekend at the Chicago Botanic Garden, Saturday as a taster and Sunday as a guy working the Binny's booth. The weather held out – Sunday especially – for a wonderful afternoon in the garden. It was great to meet so many people enjoying the garden and tasting new wines and beers, meeting folks from the wine industry, trying foods from local restaurants, and enjoying live music and seminars.

 Thanks to everybody who showed up – it wouldn't happen without you. If you placed an order, expect a call soon from your favorite Binny's!

 Also, be sure to keep an eye out for other festivals coming up – The Windy City Wine Festival, Naperville Wine Festival, and more, and be sure to keep current on the Binnys.com events page.
