First Annual Around the World in 80 Sips Wine Tasting by Bottlenotes
WHY:
The event draws its inspiration from the recently released "Bottlenotes Guide to Wine: Around the World in 80 Sips" and comes on the heels of its nationwide book tour, which featured events attended by hundreds of wine enthusiasts sponsored by The W Hotels and Citysearch. Bottlenotes' large-scale tasting gives local wine enthusiasts the opportunity to taste wines from traditional and emerging wine regions around the world -- including France, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Napa, Sonoma, Israel, Lebanon and China -- as well as sample local and sustainable food and wine, participate in a raffle to benefit Spark, and hear a dynamic roster of speakers address home wine blending, great investment wines, and more.
