Seven Hawks Wine Tasting
Saturday, March 13 . 5 –8pm
Birchwood is proud to be the first restaurant to serve Seven Hawks wine out of Fountain City, WI.
Currently, we’re featuring their Smiling Moon, a white table wine made from 100% locally grown grapes including La Crosse, Edelweiss, Frontenac Gris and Prairie Star. These grapes are the result of cross breeding with local wild grapes to produce cold-hardy vines.
Stop by, meet the vintner and sample their distinctive wine and ask them to pair one for you with our good real food!
