Gourmates.com is proud to present Tuesday Tastings - a monthly tasting event that gives our members a chance to explore unique food and drink and to get to mingle with fellow members in an atmosphere of art, music, and culture.

For our kick off event, we will be tasting empanadas as prepared by different NY area restaurants - attendees will vote on their favorite and a winner will be selected. To compliment these delicious South American treats we will be serving Malbec wine from Argentina.

The event takes place at Sloan Fine Art in the Lower East Side which provides an artistic backdrop to the tasting, sipping and mingling.

As an added bonus, all guests will be entered in a raffle to win fantastic prizes.

Remember, only Gourmates members can attend Tuesday Tastings, so encourage your friends to sign up and join in the fun. Tickets for this delectable event are only $20 and can be purchased on the site. Only 200 tickets are available, so act fast to make sure you and your friends do not miss out on the fun.
