Wine tastings are an entertaining and inexpensive way to find new wines that you might enjoy. They are also socially interactive, so you are sure to meet new acquaintances in the process. No prior wine knowledge is required to take full advantage of the events. Simply ask the hosts any questions you may have and they will be happy to take you underhand and ensure your introduction to their wines is as enjoyable as possible. Make note of the wines you enjoy during these tastings and you will never have to gamble on a wine purchase again.

The Wine Cellar - Wednesdays and Fridays, 5-7pm

Wine tastings at The Wine Cellar are very informal. Their regular set up is one wine bar with six wine selections. Special events and occasions may result in two or three wine bars, with up to eighteen wine selections. Check their calendar for special events or sign up for their email list to receive advance tasting notes. Friday evenings are the busiest, sometimes resulting in shoulder to shoulder standing in the wine bar area, but there are several rooms and hallways to move about in.
