Geja’s Café launches “The Perfect Pairing” Wine Festival throughout February and March

Geja’s Café, 340 W. Armitage Ave, will celebrate love in an unusual, but delicious, way throughout February and March with “The Perfect Pairing” Wine Festival, featuring select wines crafted by husband and wife winemaking teams.

“Wine and love is what we do here at Geja’s and I can’t believe it took us 50 years to comprise a list of wines created by married couples,” says Kirby Matthews, Geja’s Café General Manager. “When carefully choosing the wines for this festival, we were blown away by how many married winemaking teams are out there. Who knows, perhaps the secret to a healthy marriage is wine!” says Matthews.

Among the featured wines, available both by the glass and the bottle at low promotional prices, will be:
