Cost: $25 PER PERSON / $22 FOR WINE CLUB MEMBERS

Join us for a fun and lively blind tasting game night. Taste your way through a lineup of featured warm-hearted reds (including Babić, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Primitivo, and Zinfandel) and see if you can match each wine to its varietal—a perfect evening for curious palates, friendly competition, and wine lovers of all levels. Along the way, explore the fascinating relationship between Primitivo and Zinfandel: they’re the same grape, but they often express themselves differently depending on where they’re grown and how they’re made. It’s a perfect chance to sharpen your palate, learn something new, and enjoy a fun evening of wine in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.

Come test your tasting skills, try new wines, and enjoy a relaxed, interactive night with us. Whether you’re a seasoned sipper or just love a good glass of red, this is your chance to play, taste, and discover. 

The format is simple enough: we will pour 5 tasting glasses on a mat and give you a list of possible matches. Our staff will provide as much or as little guidance as you wish. Come alone; come with friends, colleagues, or your neighbors. We look forward to seeing you! 

No reservations required. Must be 21+ to attend.
