Dear FPBS Customer,

Thank you for making our June events so successful :) The East-West wine tasting was gorgeous as per usual and I noticed many of you enjoying the half-price bottles of wine afterwards! For those of you who haven't taken advantage of this amamzing deal, be sure to get down to East-West anytime during the month of July and enjoy half-off any bottle of wine on the list!

You all know that wine is my passion, but I must say I truly enjoyed Alex's Beer 101 class at Aromas. I learned a great deal about the beers we tried and actually discovered a new favorite! To read more about the experience check out our blog or facebook page. If you have the chance make sure to sign up for the next Beer 101 class which is sure to be interesting!

Below are some upcoming July events that you should not miss. Hope to see you all soon and as always thank you for your support and continued patronage.
