"Wine Time!" Women In Wine - Speedy Creek / Kathy Burton & Pam Truswell @ 2223 - 3/9

Note from Betty: LGBT community wine lover Pam Truswell welcomes Speedy Creek Winery's co-owner Kathy Burton as our featured guest for the Women In Wine Series' this month. Word has it that winemaker Dave Burton may be accompanying Kathy, and if so, we will no doubt declare him to be an "honorary lesbian" for the evening. Big thanks to all of you who continue to support this fun event at 2223 with great food and fine gals! - Betty - Chef Melinda and partner Michelle welcome wine lovers to 2223!

Twin Peaks

Word is that this is the first gay bar to have full glass windows. It also has a lot of older men who frequent it. It's kind of sassy.
