About Our Tastings

We have member-hosted, educational tastings, typically on a monthly basis. We learn about different varietals, regions and vintners, and their approaches to producing wine. We sample approximately 6 wines during a tasting, swirling, sniffing, tasting, and scoring each wine, rating the appearance, aroma, palate and overall quality represented from the grape varietals, vintage and the wine overall.


The cost for each tasting varies depending on the wines being presented. We typically offer the opportunity to stay for an optional dinner following the tasting at an additional cost. This provides the opportunity to further discuss the wines with your fellow members while building rapport and friendship with other wine enthusiasts.
