About this Event
Kick off the new year by putting your palate to the ultimate test! Have you ever wondered if you can actually tell a delicate Pinot Noir apart from a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or a smoky Shiraz without looking at the bottle? The secret to truly understanding wine isn't memorizing regional maps—it's learning how to identify key structural clues like acidity, fruit character, and tannin strength in your glass.
On January 11th, join expert Wine Educator Beth Bornstein from West Side Grapes for an interactive, educational blind tasting workshop designed to sharpen your wine deduction skills. Through a flight of three mystery red glasses, Beth will guide you step-by-step to isolate the distinct personality traits of three major international varieties: Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, this hands-on challenge strips away label bias so you can hone your tasting instincts, learn how the unique grape flavors shape every sip, and discover what your taste buds really love. Guests will also enjoy a selection of delicious savory appetizers thoughtfully paired to complement the flight. It’s an engaging, fun-filled evening guaranteed to level up your tasting game for 2027!
Space is limited to keep the tasting interactive, so reserve your seat today before it fills up!
