Clued in about Robert Kacher wines?

People who love wine know that a handful of importer names are like the old Good Housekeeping seal of approval. These guys have become lengendary for scouting out and nurturing some of the best small-estate wines on the planet - in all price ranges.

Robert Kacher is one of this select group, famous for his work in France, and Sigel's says it's just gotten in a new container of his finds (including Burgundies, Rhones, wines from the south of France and others). National sales manager Craig Baker will lead a tasting through some of the current releases from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Addison store (15003 Inwood Road).

It's free, but RSVP to David Waddington here or call 214-739-4012.
