Valentine's Day is Sunday, February 14th
Tanisha Townsend, the Two Hearts virtual guide, has cultivated a community of wine enthusiasts through an unyielding passion for oenology. As Chief Wine Officer of lifestyle agency Girl Meets Glass, (www.girlmeetsglass.com) Tanisha leads wine classes and tours in Paris (and virtually). She also hosts the podcast, Wine School Dropout. Her goal is to empower individuals with an advanced knowledge of wine & spirits in order to build confidence in their tastes and make choices as a better-informed consumer.
“We all have fantasies of sharing a personalized chauffeur driven tour of the Champagne region of France one day,” said Linden Place Executive Director Susan Battle. “But until that day arrives, why not enjoy cozying up at home with your special someone and sipping champagne as together you learn about how it is made and why it tastes so darn good, while indulging on delicious sweets, and enjoying a special shared experience.”
The Two Hearts Package of treats can be picked up at Linden Place Mansion Gift Shop at 500 Hope St. Bristol, between 10 am and 5 pm on Thursday, February 11, Friday, February 12 and Saturday, February 13 from 10am-1pm. The zoom presentation by Ms. Townsend will take place on Sunday February 14th at 5 pm.
