Great Pairings is back by popular demand Friday, May 18, 6 p.m. at Woodmen Hall.

Brent Charnley, Lopez Island Vineyards’ award winning winemaker will present five of his 2012 releases.  Each wine will be paired with a fabulous menu course created especially for the wine by some of our best local chefs.
