We have searched far and wide for 80+ of the world's finest wines and you'll taste them all during a night of sipping, swilling and socializing. As you've likely guessed, this signature tasting party celebrates wines from around the world from countries like Spain, Italy and France, featuring varietals from such inimitable names as Italy's Castello Banfi, Napa's Chateau Montelena, and Spain's Rias Baixas. In between tasting you'll indulge in savory bites of iGourmet's artisanal premium cheeses and Creminelli's mouth watering charcuterie to name a few. Round out the evening with delicious chocolate nibbles from Vosges Haut-Chocolate and cabernet brownies from Marche Noir. Refresh your palate throughout the evening with a thirst quenching San Pellegrino and a delicious fermented soda from CasCal.

Take advantage of the early-access VIP pass and you'll taste the event's best wines sans crowds and lines and be privy to special VIP only bottles. In addition to the valuable wine knowledge learned at the event all attendees will walk away with their very own Bottlenotes stem created by the talented glass makers at Bottega del Vino along with a copy of the book that is the inspiration for this event, Bottlenotes Guide to Wine: Around the World in 80 Sips by our CEO Alyssa Rapp. You can also feel good about your ticket purchase as net ticket sale proceeds will benefit St. Vincent Meals on Wheels.
