Upgrade Your Wine Tasting Experience x2
Join the Host Committee and other VIPs at an educational tasting with Eddie Osterland, America’s First Master Sommelier, from 6:00-6:45pm.  Eddie will be giving a brief presentation on wine tasting, including information about a number of the special boutique wines being poured at the event.  Part 2 of your Upgrade includes the onsite “After Party,” from 9:00-10:00pm, at which we encourage you to stay on after the crowd leaves and continue your conversations over tastings of fine ports, dessert wines, and handmade champagne. Both these additional experiences take place at the Birch Aquarium.
