December brings opportunities for all sorts of end-of-year celebrations – workplace happy hours, romantic date nights, or festive nights out with friends.

The Magnolia
<\/strong><\/a>Since rebranding in 2019, The Magnolia (formerly Kent & Co. Wines) has established itself as a vibrant spot for gatherings and good wine.

The bubbly menu offers a wide variety of sparkling wine by the glass, from French rose to Champagne.
