On Friday, Oct. 3, wine enthusiasts are invited to an exclusive wine pairing dinner featuring Justin Vineyards and Winery. Hosted by Hailey Wells, this dynamic dining experience begins at 6 p.m. with a welcome pour of Justin rosé, a crisp and refreshing wine with bright notes of strawberry, raspberry and citrus.
