If you’re anything like most wine drinkers, you probably find yourself ordering the same wines at restaurants or reaching for the same familiar bottles at the shop. I get it—we all do it.

This tasting is my invitation to step outside that comfort zone.

Join me for a relaxed, eye-opening wine tasting where I’ll introduce you to alternative varietals you may not have tried yet—but are very likely to love. We’ll talk through what makes each wine unique, how to identify what you enjoy, and how to explore wine with a little more confidence and curiosity.

This experience is designed to be fun, approachable, and educational—whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just starting to branch out. I’ll guide you through each pour, answer questions along the way, and keep things comfortable, conversational, and enjoyable.

The evening includes charcuterie and cheese nibbles to enjoy as we taste.

I look forward to sharing some great wines with you.

Please note: This event is non-refundable.
