Virtual wine tastings + 6 local spots to pick up your next bottle curbside
You know that tired joke that’s like, “I only drink on days that end in —y?” That’s my life now. But hey, at least I’m keeping it classy by supporting local business and checking out these virtual wine tastings around Birmingham. Don’t forget to snag a bottle curbside at the local bars and wineries.

But first, I think we can all relate:
There is no longer AM and PM. There is just “coffee time” and “wine time.”
