WineAddicts.com Best of 2009 Welcome to the third year of our WineAddicts.com awards. Best Private Tasting at a Winery Behrens & Hitchcock threw a fabulous summer event with all the usual wine pourings. While light on parking they have invested in the outside tasting area: patios, lawn and gazebo along with catering that paired nicely with all those reds. Should be another regular fixture on our calendar.
