"A Flight of Fancy (Hopefully)"

Join Master Sommelier Michael Meagher for an exclusive tasting that puts legendary wines and longtime favorites to the test—without labels, reputations, or preconceptions getting in the way. Together, we’ll explore how these icons hold up in today’s wine world, discover stories behind the selections, and maybe even encounter a curveball or two to keep things interesting. Hints may be revealed along the way, but the real focus will be on how these wines perform in the glass right now.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Special thanks to Martignetti for supplying the wines for this event and to Coravin for helping with some of the curveballs.  

Jeremiah Cates, Wine Director for the Xenia Hospitality Group (including Krasi restaurant), and Billy Sofis, BSS Director, will lead an Assyrtiko tasting, showcasing the diversity of the Assyrtiko grape in Greece.  The tasting will feature archetypal Santorini Assyrtiko, including Nykteri and premier single vineyard styles, mainland Assyrtiko, skin-fermented, and a retsina style.  The price is $28 for current BSS members, and $38 for non-members.  Preference will be given to paid-up members.
