Terroir Night - Stellenbosch
Thursday, 2nd Aug at 7pm
Stellenbosch is to South African wine much like Napa is to Californian wine. Of course, finding good wine from Stellenbosch can be challenging because there are so many producers. In this class we will break down what makes Stellenbosch so special and also showcase some of the wines we think are awesome ones from the region!
Quiz Night!
Thursday, 9th Aug at 7pm
Throughout the night we will host a wine tasting consisting of 5 wines, and in between the tastings, we will host a quiz night where you and your table will compete to see who's king/queen of Trivia. More importantly, this is meant to be a fun night of great wine and spirited competition.
Bad-ass Reds!
Thursday, 16th Aug at 7pm
During this class you will taste a carefully chosen selection of some seriously bad ass reds from across the country! This is a fun and interactive class with an emphasis on developing your palate. We will teach you how to both recognize signature aromas in traditional black grape varietals and explore tannin, fruit, acidity and body, which when combined will help you determine what styles of red wine you enjoy the most.
Wine Classes
Explore the world of wine with a glass in hand. At every one of our tastings, a Eighteen13 Wine Expert walks you through a flight of wines paired with delectable hors d’oeuvres. Hear the story of the wines and their grape varieties; get a first-hand portrait of the winemaker and winery; and learn techniques for tasting wines and matching to foods.
