What’s in a label?! How a bottle looks and what it says are a huge part of deciding to take it home with you. We’ll taste some “critter” labels versus some old school Chateau-inspired ones and more! And what about those little cards you see in front of some wines in stores? Shelf talkers also have a role in helping you pick out your flavor of the week (or, let’s be honest, night!). We’ll go through what they say, who and where they come from, and how to read them effectively to get information that will actually help you score some killer wine.
In a Crash Course based on Wine Buying 101, we’ll help you decipher what labels & shelf talkers mean, and how to pick out some great vino in your local wine shop!

In case you missed the first edition of our Crash Course at Wine Riot!, here’s your shot for the encore presentation! If you haven’t hopped on the rosé train yet, it’s high time you get in there! Summer is in full swing in our fine city, which means it is time to drink the pink! These are dry wines with bright fruit flavors and and NOT to be confused with blush wines. Rosé wines are perfect for al fresco luncheons, picnics, romantic evenings or general poolside guzzling! Just shut up and drink it!

Join Jeff, Downtown’s resident sherry enthusiast, in dispelling the nasty misconception that sherry is just for old ladies. In reality, sherry is some baller stuff which hails from the south of Spain and brings with it an interesting history and a punch that would make your Grandma blush. Come taste an array of sherries that will put any doubts you had about this stuff to rest, and might even make a sherry lover out of you!

The showdown’s been rescheduled and now’s it’s ON! It’s a battle of the big, bold, bad-boys from South America! Taste Argentine Malbec, the reigning champion of Southern Hemisphere juiciness side by side with Chile’s rising star, Carmenere. See Argentine Cabernet face up against the Chilean powerhouse. Before the main event, see the little known underdog, but heavy hitting Torrontes from Mendoza square up against Chile’s internationally successful Sauvignon Blanc. Be there!
