Some wines are special, rare, and different, and you hardly ever get to taste them. Some of them are “acquired tastes,” but how do you acquire the taste without putting out for an expensive bottle? Well, this is the event to solve that. The wines that we drink around the Holidays are some of these acquired tastes, and we want to share our Holiday traditions with you. We’ll be drinking aged Alsatian whites, Vin Jaune, Barolo Chinato, Trockenbeerenauslese and more. Come taste some of the more unique, interesting, and (we think) delicious wines the world has to offer.
