About this Event
Summer is officially here, and that means it's time to fire up the grill and pour something that can actually stand up to those rich, smoky, flame-kissed flavors! While light whites and patio sippers have their moment, summer barbecue demands wines with serious backbone, intense fruit, and muscular structure. If you’ve ever wondered why your favorite delicate pour gets completely washed out by a charred ribeye or smoky brisket, this class is your ultimate remedy.
On June 7th, join expert Wine Educator Beth Bornstein from West Side Grapes for a high-octane masterclass on tasting, appreciating, and pairing big-flavored wines. Through a curated flight of bold and robust, full-bodied white and red pours, we’ll explore the key structural elements—high tannin, rich alcohol, oak integration, and concentrated fruit—that make these powerhouse bottles tick. You’ll discover exactly why bold wines thrive alongside smoky, caramelized, and spicy grilled foods, giving you the playbook to dominate every summer cookout and dinner party. Guests will also enjoy a selection of savory, grill-inspired appetizers thoughtfully paired to highlight the magic of every sip.
Seats fill up fast as summer kicks off, so reserve your spot today!
