Welcome to Corkbuzz Market Mixers! Hosted monthly with new themes, our mixer's are a great way to engage in "Edutainment", learning about new wine regions, tasting great wines, and meeting fellow wine enthusiasts. Come solo or grab your friends. Our hour long mixers will have an introduction on the topic of focus, and an introduction to the wines. Taste 4-6 wines at your own pace, with sommeliers on hand for questions and education.
September's theme is: The Native Grapes of Piedmont! We adore Nebbiolo and the intricacies of the appellations that specialize in it, but did you know that Piedmont has dozens of grape varieties authorized for production? Although Piedmont is making exciting renditions international grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Cabernet, and more, we'll focus on the indigenous grapes of the region. You might encounter familiar whites such as Cortese, Arneis or Moscoto, but also be introduced to Timorasso, Favorita, or Erbaluce. Barbera is Piedmont's most planted red, but we love Freisa, Ruche, Dolcetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga just as much. Our sommeliers will introduce you to Piedmont varieties, appellations, and styles.
Continue the fun afterwards with wine, beer, and cocktails from our award winning list.
