Atlanta, GA — Hundreds of people came out to sample over 100 different wines at 52 pouring stations during the Kirkwood Wine Stroll on Friday, Sept. 17. Restaurants were open and quick food bite stations were set up to provide plenty of food options, while local musicians and DJ Tiny provided music to get people dancing.
The footprint was more spread out than in previous years, and all pouring stations were staged outdoors.
