Tasting Circle: Sparkling Hybrid Wines

​Curious about hybrid wines but haven’t yet had a chance to try them? Join us around our table where we will get to know some varietals you’ve likely never tasted: Brianna, Somerset, St. Criox, Cayuga, and others.

​Hybrid grapes are born from a cross between the only European grape species (Vitis vinifera) and one of the 40-60 wild grape species native to North America.

​This parentage makes them cold hardy, disease resistant, and better suited to climates where the imported Vitis vinifera doesn't thrive. The result is a family of wines that are still largely under the radar, offering adventurous drinkers something genuinely new to explore.

​This is a low-cost, pay-what-you-wish event, with a suggested contribution of $25. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

​All levels welcome! No tasting experience needed.
