Join No Wine Left Behind for Sip School at Bananas in the East Village — a playful, vibey spot serving Asian American comfort food in a space that doesn’t take itself too seriously (banana art everywhere, once you start noticing).

You’ll start with a welcome drink and taste three wines poured blind — natural, Eastern European, and intentionally unfamiliar. Then it’s game time: a multiple‑choice blind tasting where you guess the grape, flavor notes, and region, alongside the rest of the room.region,

While we tally results, keep your eyes open: Bananas hides four banana rubber ducks around the space. Find one. Claim bragging rights.

And because this is Sip School, you’re getting our signature mix of learning, storytelling, and play — all wrapped into a competitive blind wine tasting game that turns even the quietest sipper into a trash‑talking champion.

• Welcome drink
• Flight of 3 funky Eastern European wines
• Sip School’s signature gamified blind tasting (multiple choice!)
• Prizes for top scorers
• ️ Come early for brunch or stay late for dinner — Bananas does not miss

Who it’s for: Adventurous sippers, casual drinkers, grape nerds, and trivia lovers. All knowledge levels welcome. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe a competitive spirit).
