PAST EVENTS

  • Pairing Food with Wine

    This was a fun team-building seminar which showcased how certain aspects of wine (think: body, tannin, fruitiness, alcohol, and sweetness) typically interact with the basic tastes of food (think: umami, salt, acid, and sweetness).

  • Le Grand Prix du Trousseau Gris

    After two years of serious collecting, this special tasting highlighted Trousseau Gris and Trousseau Noir, comprising 20 total bottlings across 13 American producers & 9 distinct vineyards, with fruit sourced primarily from a single vineyard in the Russian River Valley.

  • Wines of Raj Parr & Sashi Moorman

    This was a very well-curated Raj Par / Sashi Moorman themed tasting featuring wines from their various labels, including different types (sparkling vs. still) and grape varieties.

  • VIN-nyl Pairings: Women in Wine feat. Taylor Swift

    In honor of Taylor Swift’s lucky number, there were 13 wines in this tasting, each highlighting various women in wine, just in time for Women’s History Month and the recent kick-off of ‘The Eras Tour’. Each wine had been paired with a song or two through various tie-ins to chosen lyrics. Additionally, the song pairings aligned their year of album release with the chosen wine’s vintage or disgorgement date. Her entire discography (10 albums in total) was explored – an ‘A-side’ and a ‘B-side from each.

  • Italian American Wines

    This was a thoroughly curated themed tasting featuring wines made from grapes traditionally grown in Italy (as well as in styles typical to Italian winemaking). Wines were subsequently paired with Italian American dishes as well.

  • Hero(w)ine Pairings feat. Nora, Nancy, & Greta

    To properly kick-off the autumn season, I compiled a tasting of 16 wines carefully selected to celebrate 3 iconic filmmaker-writers (Nora Ephron, Nancy Meyers, & Greta Gerwig) of the ‘relationship comedy’ genre and the multifaceted heroines they’ve brought to life on the silver screen. Each wine has been paired with one of their films (14 in total) through various tie-ins to a particular scene or moment.
