Zachys Is Hosting A "Grand Slam"
Tasting In The Luxury Suites At Citi Field!

Friday September 17th vs. The Atlanta Braves

6pm - 8:30pm: 1 ½ Hour Wine Tasting and Open Buffet
7:10: Game Begins

Join us on September 17th for this year's Final Invitation Only Wine Tasting & Baseball Game Special!

Based on our local weather this week...FALL is in the air. The cool crisp temperatures brings the focus to the final days of the baseball season and Zachys wanted to finish up the year at Citi Field with a BIG BANG.

Normally in the Fall we pull out all the stops at the store and host some off-the-hook tastings. On Wednesday September 15th we will be hosting the 4th annual "Uncork The Boot" Italian extravaganza at the store. So, while we are at it, why not take the act on the road and host an Italian-only "Grand Slam" tasting in Citi Field's luxury party suites???!!!

The New York Mets are once again opening up their Empire Party Suites for an Invitation Only Wine Tasting Experience and Baseball Game as they take on the Atlanta Braves. Jeremy & I will both be on-hand to conduct the wine tasting and answer all your wine questions. You know that when it comes to wine tasting we are very, very serious and always pull out the stops for YOU! This game is no different! The tasting will feature many of the highlights that are part of the Citi Field Wine Program (developed by Zachys) and an exceptional opportunity to taste some of Italy's hottest red wines in the market today... And all in 3 LITER FORMAT!!

The ticket price for this Game is only $80.00 per person!
Ticket Price includes admission into the Empire Party Suites for the entire game along with the 1 ½ Hour Wine Tasting starting at 6PM and Open Buffet (6:00pm-8:30pm). Game starts 7:10PM

After your initial 1.5 hour tasting, beverages will be available for purchase. Food will remain included in the $80 price
