Why The Glass Matters

Why The Wine Glass Matters: A Guided Tasting Experience

Does the shape of your wine glass really make a difference? Join us for an interactive tasting that explores how glassware can completely transform the way a wine smells, tastes and feels.

During this guided experience, we’ll taste the same wines in three different glasses, a standard drinking glass, a white wine glass, and a red wine glass, to discover how shape, size, and aeration influence aroma, texture, and flavor.

This class is designed to be fun, hands on, and eye opening. Whether you are a casual drinker or a devoted enthusiast, you’ll leave with practical tips that will change the way you experience wine at home.

Come sip, swirl, and see for yourself: the wine stays the same, but the experience can be completely different.

Space is limited so call or email for your seat.

Femme Fette: Women In Wine Making

Femme Fette: Women In Wine Making

Join us as we celebrate Femme Fette, an evening dedicated to the bold, creative force of women in winemaking, featuring the wines of American Wine Project. Based in Wisconsin and led by winemaker Erin Rasmussen, American Wine Project is redefining what American wine can be by working with hybrid grape varieties grown by small midwestern farmers. These grapes, often overlooked by other traditional wines of the world, are transformed into vibrant, expressive wines that speak honestly of their place and community.

Through thoughtful farming partnerships and minimal intervention cellar practices, these wines capture freshness, texture, and a sense of discovery. Each bottle tells a story, not only of terroir, but of innovation and the women shaping the future of American wine.

This is a rare opportunity to experience wines that challenge and celebrate the power of vision, resilience, and creativity in the glass.

Holiday Cookie Demo

Not all holiday cookies have frosting and sprinkles! While I love those sweet treats, sometimes I like a cookie that pairs with my wine, and traditional Italian biscotti and cookies are ideal for this culinary delight.

It just so happens that I have a few of these recipes up my sleeve. In fact, now that I think about it, perhaps these cookies are why I love wine so much! We can explore that while we make a few batches of cookies. Yes, you will have a chance to sample them with wine, too!

We will have all the ingredients on hand, so you can go home and make a batch or two for your holiday!

No rsvp required.
