Tastings at grand cru:

In addition to our regular wine by the glass program, we frequently feature special tastings where you can meet the estate owner, winemaker or agent of a winery or brewery we are most fond of. Our tasting fee is $15, which is credited toward the purchase of any items from the tasting.
