Yes We Are Open on Thanksgiving!

Our hours will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please drop by O’Bryan’s for any last-minute wine, beer, liquor or liqueur that you need. We’ll be glad to help you find whatever you’re looking for.
Have a great Turkey Day!

 

And remember, because of the Thanksgiving holiday, we won’t be tasting wines this weekend. However, we hope you wine lovers (and you know who you are!) will rejoin us the weekend of December 2-3, when we will taste the wines of Francis Ford Coppola.
