HOUSTON – In honor of Women’s History Month, H-E-B is inviting us to raise a glass to help empower women around the world.
They are spot lighting women-owned and women-made wines through virtual tastings streamed live from wineries across the country straight to your home.
What better way to honor and toast to women than by opening a bottle of wine made by one?
You can sign up at HEB.com/winetastings.
