Wine lovers, here’s an event you won’t want to miss. On Friday, April 1, 2016, you can sample a variety of fine wines for free at The Decanter.

For nearly a decade, The Decanter has been serving up some of the finest wines around to patrons near and far. Conveniently located in downtown Decatur, the establishment has grown to be quite the hit with locals and tourists alike.

Known as a wine connoisseur’s paradise, the establishment has become the area’s top spot for serious wine connoisseurs.

The Decanter offers a variety of wines from several states as well as two from Illinois – Owl Creek from Cobden and Illinois Cellars from Carrollton. The most popular wine is a white Riesling from Germany.

With over 500 wines from around the world, including Australia, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, this place is sure to activate your senses.

Drinking wine in moderation can not only boost your spirit, but it can also help your health. Studies show that moderate wine drinkers are 32 percent less likely to get cataracts than nondrinkers; those who drink wine are also 43 percent less vulnerable to develop cataracts than those drinking mainly beer.

Impressive numbers that give you more reason to love your wine – in moderation of course! For more information visit The Decanter’s website.
