Upcoming Events
-

Crush of the Month: Pinot Noir
Thursday 15 October | 4–7PM (drop in)
The emotionally complex crush you’ll keep coming back to time and time again. Smooth, moody, and let’s be real: sometimes an expensive date. But it’s always worth it.
Crush Tastings start at 4PM and go until 7PM. Allow yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy the full experience.
-

The Comeback Kids: Nearly-Forgotten Grapes
Friday 16 October | 6PM
Every era has its outcasts: grapes abandoned, forgotten, or out of vogue. In this class, we celebrate the ultimate underdogs: ancient varieties pulled back from the brink of extinction and once-ridiculed grapes reclaiming the spotlight. From rare indigenous survivors rescued by dedicated winemakers to the triumphant rehabilitation of Merlot and beyond, these wines prove that wine has a long memory. Second acts never tasted so good.
-

An Evening with Champagne Billecart-Salmon
Tuesday 20 October | 6PM
The classic high-low pairing! Taste five cuvées from Champagne Billecart-Salmon, one of the few major houses that's still family owned, alongside Taiwanese popcorn chicken.
Billecart built its name on elegance and precision, and that's exactly what fried chicken wants: acid to cut the oil, bubbles to reset the palate, and freshness to meet the five-spice and white pepper. Five cuvées, including the house's celebrated rosé.
Caviar upgrade available, because the "low" half can go high too!
-

Hung(a)ry for Ghoulish Grapes: Wines of Central Europe
Thursday 22 October | 6PM
Fall is the perfect time to take a ride down the Danube, exploring the wines & flavors of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. From Furmint & Welschriesling to Blaufrankisch & Pinot Noir, we will venture through the Alps to the Dalmatian Coast and explore any Czech, Slovak, or Romanian wines we can source.
A bowl of "Ghoulish" Goulash will be served alongside these wines, bringing the warmth & spice from these cultures together.
NOTE: We are not able to accommodate dietary restrictions for this event.

A Grape Odyssey: Wines of Greece
Friday 13 November | 6PM
The Greeks have been making wine for four thousand years, and the last thirty have been a full-blown revival of indigenous varieties, small family growers, and a mind-boggling diversity of wines. We're going on an odyssey through vineyards from the mainland to the islands, exploring salty Assyrtiko, flowery Moschofilero, savory Xinomavro, and more—MUCH more!
Unfamiliar names, unbeatable value, and a healthy dose of our Rocks & Acid nerdiness to tie it all together.
-

Port to Port: From Faro to Porto
Sunday 15 November | 6PM
The Iberian Peninsula gets a lot of love at our shop, but Portugal is still overlooked as a country with incredible wines. Best-known for their fortified Port wines, Laura will be pulling out all the stops. Featuring the bold wines of Dão & Douro, the plush & approachable selections from Alentejo, and espumante options from along the Atlantic like Vinho Verde & Bairrada. "Reserva" your excitement—if you're lucky, we might even toss in a wine from the islands of Madeira or the Azores! Saúde!
-

Crush of the Month: Sangiovese
Thursday 19 November | 4–7PM (drop in)
The passionate Italian lover who talks with their hands and smells like cherry tobacco. There’s a rustic edge and a little bit of tannin temper, but once they’re at a dinner table with a bowl of pasta, they’re everyone’s favorite.
Crush Tastings start at 4PM and go until 7PM. Allow yourself a minimum of 30 minutes to enjoy the full experience.
-

Decoding Brunello
Sunday 22 November | 6PM
One town on top of a hill. One grape. Six very different wines.
We'll unpack what Brunello di Montalcino requires, including aging minimums and the Riserva classification, then cover what the rules can't dictate. From altitude and sun exposure to winemaker decisions and soil composition, this class will cover everything you need to understand the complexities of one of Italy's most famous DOCGs. This is serious Sangiovese, finally decoded.
-

Bubbly, Briny Bliss: Champagne Bliard & Caviar
Friday 4 December | 6PM
Two of the world's great luxuries were made for each other, and this class will show you exactly why. Join us for an evening with Champagne Bliard, a small organic grower tucked into the hillside village of Hautvillers. And of course, our Champagne classes are never complete without caviar pairings!
We'll taste through five luxe cuvées alongside bright and briny caviar, exploring how bubbles cut through fat, how salinity sharpens flavors, and why the classic pairing has held its ground for a century. Come with an appetite for the finer things in life, and we'll handle the rest.

Crush of the Month: Cabernet Sauvignon
