For some, weekends are made for chores. For some it's spending time with family and friends. For others weekends are for drinking beer, and for many they are for drinking wine.

If you happen to fall in the "weekends are made for wine drinking" category, gather up all your fellow wine lovers and spend your Saturday sippin' and shoppin' in Freeport.

Tomorrow, Saturday, May 22, from Noon to 4 p.m. is the 3rd annual 'Pretzel City Winefest', and it sounds like it will be a lot of fun for all!
