3rd Annual Farmer Fizz $69
Last years event was a sold out success! Come taste over 25 different Champagnes, made by farmers, not by a multinational conglomerate. The cost of many of the branded bubbles is 90% marketing, we say that great Champagne does not have to cost hundreds of dollars! The families we work with concentrate all there effort on making great wine, not marketing hype.

Rhone for your life! $59
We've always had a soft spot for the Rhone valley, is it the incredible mouthfilling fruit, or the food friendliness? Perhaps its the great pricing, or even the charming people. Perhaps we should taste 8 different wines to really investigate why these are such great wines!

My Homie Amarone $59
For many Italian red wine begins and ends with Amarone. This wine made from concentrated grapes is the much bigger brother to Valpolicella and worthy of special attention. Bold and somewhat in your face, Amarone is very expressive and lovable when you get to know him. By the end of the night he will be your homie too!
