California wines for Thanksgiving
About this Event

It’s hard to believe we’re already approaching holiday season, with Thanksgiving just next week!


We’re going to help you kick it off by tasting some delicious wines you can share with family and friends this holiday season.


We have not done a domestic/California themed wine club in quite a while and Thanksgiving seems like a good time to do it! Presentation will be given by likely the most knowledgeable somm I know, Hunter Seidel of Serendipity. Possibly the last presentation he’ll be doing for us as he is receiving a promotion at the start of the new year, overseeing Serendipity’s fine wine program for North Texas and likely the whole state.


Looking forward to seeing you all this week. Wine list and event links below:

*Note, we may feature a bonus 6th wine, a fine wine offering, but of the five wines below, they will all be pick-two, no premium wine choice this month. More wine so you can share with more people!
