Weekly Wine Tastings

We hold free wine tastings in the shop every Thursday from 5:30 until 8:00 pm. We generally feature wines from a particular region, winemaker, or importer, and often the winemakers or importers are on hand to talk about their wines.

On the last Thursday of each month, we pour the wines from our upcoming Collector’s Club for everyone to try. And once a month, usually on the third Saturday, we feature a local winemaker for a special Saturday tasting, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Our tastings are always very casual—just drop by, pick up a glass, and see what you like! (Must be at least 21 years old to participate)
