Sip into winter with bold reds and winter-friendly whites with a sommelier-guided tasting designed for cold nights.
A Cozy, Guided Wine Experience for the Colder Months

As the nights get colder, the wines we crave naturally change.

Some wines feel warmer, richer, and more satisfying in winter, while others suddenly taste sharp, muted, or unbalanced. That’s not chance. It’s about structure, balance, and seasonality.

Winter in the Glass · Cold Nights, Bold Wines is an intimate, guided tasting designed to help you discover why certain wines shine in winter, and how to choose wines you’ll truly enjoy all season long.

This experience is approachable, hands-on, and sensory-driven. No wine jargon. No pressure. Just great wine, cozy vibes, and eye-opening discoveries.

What You’ll Experience

During this seated, guided tasting, you’ll explore five thoughtfully selected wines while learning how:

  • Temperature changes aroma, texture, and flavor
  • International vs. hybrid grapes
  • Rosé can be surprisingly perfect beyond summer
  • Structure matters more than grape name
  • Food transforms wine in real time

You’ll taste wines on their own, then with small bites, noticing how balance, not rules, is what makes a wine feel just right in winter.

This is a 21+ event. Class starts promptly at 6:00. Doors open at 5:30 if you'd like to arrive early and purchase a glass of wine or wine slushee before class begins.
