[VIP EXPERIENCE] Winter Reds That Aren't Heavy: A Virtual Wine Tasting

Winter doesn't mean you have to reach for the biggest, boldest reds on the shelf.
About this Event

--------

This is for a VIP EXPERIENCE ticket!

Join Cork & Crystal for a guided virtual wine tasting exploring winter-friendly red wines that offer warmth, structure and flavor...without heaviness or palate fatigue.

In this tasting, we'll explore reds that are:

Lighter to medium in body
Balanced, food-friendly, and expressive
Perfect for cozy meals, roasted dishes, and winter evenings

You'll learn how acidity, tannin, and body shape how a wine feels, and how to choose reds that pari beautifully with winter cooking without overwhelming your palate.

What we'll cover:

What makes a red wine feel "heavy" vs. balanced
Red wine styles that shine in the winter without excess weight
How to pair these wines with seasonal foods
Tips for buying reds you'll actually want to drink all season

This tasting is approachable, educational, and designed for anyone who loves wine and wants to drink more intentionally. No jargon, no pressure, just great wine and conversation!

How it works:

Ticket price is per screen
Wine is NOT included (a wine list will be sent in advance so you can order)
No prior wine knowledge required
