Sexy Spanish Wines!!!! This region is full of sultry, savory, sexy flavors! Learn the major regions, classifications and more while we relax swirling, sipping and sailing the NYC harbor. 

Join us for our new series celebrating the wonderfully diverse and ever changing world of wine!

Each week we will focus on a different region exploring the grapes, styles, soils, viticulture, and tasting techniques that will help you enjoy the place in your glass! These interactive tastings will be conducted by our wine professional Wendy Crispell in a fun, relaxed atmosphere aboard the beautiful yacht Manhattan. This seasons tastings will feature a number of different artisan & farmstead cheeses selected each week to complement the wines of the day. In addition, a selection of jams, dried fruits, honey and breads will be served to highlight each pairing.
 
People from many cultures sailed into our harbor bringing regional cuisine and traditions that helped to make NY one of the most diverse culinary destinations in the world!
