March Madness - Battle Of The Budget Bottles

Cost: 30-35

March Madness isn’t just for basketball this year. We’re bringing the bracket to the wine glass!

Join us on Tuesday, March 31st for a super fun and sure to be lively, interactive tasting! Tip-off time is 7:00 p.m.!

Several great value wines will go head-to-head in a friendly competition. We’ll taste our way through a bracket of standout bottles, voting round by round to decide which wine advances until one final champion is crowned.

All wines will be provided. Guests are asked to add to the fun by bringing a dish to share—anything from classic game-day fare to something a little more elevated—to see how it pairs with the wines in play. When you register, you’ll be able to sign up to bring a dish for one of the featured wine categories: Aromatic Whites, Crisp & Fresh Whites, Versatile Reds, or Powerhouse Reds. Your dish can be low-brow, high-brow, or somewhere in between—just something delicious you think will shine with the wines in that bracket.

Along the way we’ll crown a few winners: Champion Bottle, Champion Dish, and a Food & Wine Pairing Award for the standout match of the night.

Expect good wine, great food, lively debate, and a little friendly competition as we taste our way through the bracket. Bring your palate—and maybe your best game-day dish—and get ready to vote.
