“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” – Loren Eiseley
If you haven’t already visited, this is the last weekend to check out the Philadelphia Flower Show. Come and immerse yourself at the 2018 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. This year’s theme is Wonders of Water!
Fine Wine & Good Spirits is excited to be on site for the show. This weekend, nationally recognized chef, restaurateur, and Bravo TV’s Top Chef® finalist Fabio Viviani will join us at the Flower Show to sample and discuss his Fabio Viviani Wine Collection. He will also sign pre-purchased bottles of his wines.
