Sometimes wine can feel overwhelming. Maybe your team is taking a client to dinner and your boss just asked you to order the wine for the table, or maybe you want to impress your date by ordering a sommelier-favorite, or maybe you just want to be a little more familiar with how the whole industry works.

How do you know which wines you shouldn’t order and where the hidden gems are on the list?

David Weitzenhoffer (founder of Community Wine and Spirits) will be showing you the ropes and explaining some of the secrets of the industry. Why listen to David? Well, among other things he was the Wine Director for TV personality Lidia Bastianich’s Felidia, he later launched his own international import company to help sommeliers find the best wines in the world, he’s made wine, and he’s consulted in just about every corner of the industry all before opening the shop you know and love.

Come taste some of David’s favorite wine list categories, learn some tips, have some laughs, and leave with a bottle of Brezza Barbera d’Alba Superiore you can find out for yourself why he calls it “tangular.“
