Big Cabernets. Serious contenders. One delicious showdown.
Join us in our private Arts District classroom for a taste-off featuring 13 standout Cabernets and Bordeaux-style blends, served alongside a hearty cheesesteak. From celebrated Napa Valley vineyards to an intriguing Oregon contender, this lineup brings together impressive pedigrees, powerhouse winemakers, and scores reaching a perfect 100 points.
Taste the wines side by side and explore what sets each apart: mountain-grown intensity, polished tannins, rich dark fruit, savory complexity, and the unmistakable character of exceptional vineyard sites. Then see how a cheesesteak’s savory steak and melted cheese change the conversation in your glass.
Expect spirited discussion, delicious discoveries, and plenty of opportunities to challenge your favorites. Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and your Cabernet-loving friends. The critics have weighed in—now it’s your turn.
