The LUX gals have something up their sleeves planned for this fun event! Smith Story Wine Cellars is the featured Winery for Tuesday’s 5pm PST Brandlive® virtual tasting event! Check out a bit on this winery: “Rooted in a friendship that caught on fire 🔥 ,” says husband & wife team Eric Story and Ali Smith-Story (the couple behind Smith Story wines) exemplifies a real love ❤️ "Story" - with regards to their hand-crafted wines, their wonderful philanthropy, and of course, their love for each other...so what better time to introduce their wines than just before ?! None better! Watch this super fun event - or better yet, pick up a bottle or more so you can literally join in on the tasting while watching! We can’t wait to find out more about “Lord Sandwich” and his mission with Socks for Sandwich. This is going to be a good one!
