Iberia Grand Tasting

A Grand Tasting dedicated to the wines - still and fortified - of Spain and Portugal. And benefiting Carolina Breast Friends. Spain and Portugal have been in the wine game for a long, long time. Portugal itself boasts the highest density of native grape varieties per square mile of any country in the world. That can also make it really difficult to understand the wines of this portion of the world. What Spain calls Tempranillo, for instance, Portugal calls Tinta Roriz. Let us help you demistify Iberia. Join us on Sunday, Oct 25 for a two-hour walkaround tasting featuring twenty-five still and fortified wines from Spain and Portugal. We're talking multi-generational family estates straight from Rías Baixas, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Jerez, the Douro, and beyond. Dare we say this is an incredible, and rare, opportunity to taste Iberia in its most pure, authentic form — from crisp Vinho Verde to storied Sherry and Port — all in one place. We'll be raising money and awareness all night for Carolina Breast Friends, a community dedicated to embracing and supporting those impacted by breast cancer. When/Where? The Grand Tasting runs from 6pm-8pm on Sunday, October 25, 2026. We will start pre-emptively checking folks in at 5:45pm. Only valid ticket holders age 21+ will be allowed access. The Tasting will be held inside Frenchy's, and our wine club here will enjoy an extra hour on the front of this event with some exclusive pours added to the mix. What's Included in My Ticket? Your ticket provides you access to the Tasting from 6pm to 8pm. We will have glasses for everyone and spittoons placed throughout (remember, a Grand Tasting is a mararthon, not a sprint). Each host will share tasting pours of their wines. I Bought a Ticket, Now What? Simply show up! All of our ticket holders will be on our guest list at the front door. If you purchased multiple tickets under your name, please arrive together. Please bring your ID for age and identity verification.
