Thursday Night Tastings and Other Special Events
We host wine tastings, open to the public,
every Thursday from 5-8 PM. Our approach to wine tasting mirrors our
shop's approach to wine: tasting, talking about, and buying wine should
be interesting and fun. In short, if you want to just taste and buy great
wines, that's what the tastings are for; if you are interested in learning
more about wine and the winemaking process, you can get that kind of
information too.
The theme of the Thursday tastings varies: sometimes we'll host a
single winery or winemaker; other times we'll focus on a particular
region or grape variety. The idea is to be continuously exposing our
customers and guests to excellent wine at reasonable prices.
To know what our upcoming tasting will be,
subscribe to
our email list. We keep the email list private and only communicate
about the tastings and special events. In addition to the email list,
we also list our tasting schedule on the
Capitol
Hill Blog's Event Calendar, a great place to see what is
happening on and around Capitol Hill. You can also like us on
Facebook.
Special Event Tastings
We host special event tastings, such as
our popular Grand Cru Champagne Tasting every winter, or our rare aged
Rivesaltes dessert wine tasting, where guests were able to taste five
different French wines from five different vintages, ranging from 1927
to 1961.
Tickets to these special events are sold through Brown Paper
Tickets. The event is announced first to our Wine Club Members (at a
special discounted rate) and then to those on our email list. So,
again, if you are not on our email list, sign up
here!
