December Wine Events
December Wine Events
Big tastings coming to a venue near you.
December isn't normally the month associated with big wine tastings. But it is the time for giving gifts that are sure to be appreciated--such as, say, advance tickets to an awesome wine tasting.
In 2011, our Around the World in 80 SipsTM tastings will expand to more cities--and you can already buy tickets here for our January tasting in Miami, February's tasting in San Francisco and May's tasting in Chicago. Tickets to 80 Sips make for quite the stocking stuffer.
And watch this space: We'll soon announce dates and venues for our 80 Sips tastings in New York, Denver and Washington, D.C.!
While you're waiting, scroll down to see some of the other wine events happening around the country this month, or let everyone know about another December wine tasting or festival worth knowing about below. The wine world does slow down this time of year, but one of these tastings might be just what you need after multi-hour sessions of shopping, dealing with extended family and schmoozing at holiday parties.
