About this Event
Discover what really happens when varietals team up — and when they stand alone.
At (Un)Blended Truths, you’ll taste red blends side‑by‑side with their 100% counterparts, exploring how Cabernet, Merlot, and other classic grapes express themselves solo versus in harmony. Compare structure, aroma, body, and balance as we reveal the stories behind each sip.
This guided discussion will be led by Mariel Brinkerhoff, wine enthusiast and educator from Banville Wines, bringing insider knowledge, approachable expertise, and plenty of “aha” moments to the table.
Whether you’re a curious sipper or a full‑on wine nerd, this tasting is all about uncovering the truth in the glass — blended or unblended.
Ticket Includes:
- Eight (8) red wines, three iconic regions — West Coast (US), Tuscany (Italy), Rioja (Spain)
- Light bites for snacking
- Wine education
