From bottle and box right into your waiting glass, the weekends are made for wine tasting. And three Paducah purveyors of the pour – Wine Pro, Roof Brothers and Wagner Wine and Spirits – offer plenty of wines to sample. Here’s a look at a recent weekend of wine tasting!

Steve Brown and son Sean offer tastings on Friday and Saturday evenings – rock on, Wine Pro! Their tastings are so festive (and so unusual, including wines from a box) that several folks have formed their own wine tasting group. Along with gathering at Wine Pro, they get together at one another’s homes to share wines, appetizers and friendships. Stop by and get in on the wine action! 443.9463.
