Crush Wine & Spirits will be hosting a FREE wine tasting with Richard Betts tonight, February 4, 2010 from 5:30-7:30PM. All the wines being poured will be discounted. RSVP to events@crushwineco.com
Richard Betts is one of this country’s great wine personalities. He was the Wine Director at Aspen’s famous Little Nell restaurant for many years and this is where he met Dennis Scholl, an avid wine fan and art collector. The two of them had the idea to marry great wines with more affordable prices, to make food friendly wines of distinct pedigree. And for fun, they’d dip into Scholl’s art collection to inspire their labels.
