Don’t you hate it when it’s all of a sudden National Chardonnay or Pinot Noir day, and you are not prepared for it? It seems like every year, there’s a new wine inspired holiday (which I am ALL for), but I hate not being ready for it.
For that reason, I’ve compiled every wine holiday I could find for 2022, and put it in this easy to follow list for you. You can also download the calendar in PDF form to print out and keep close at hand!
