Come Over October...for Bubbles & Bordeaux!
We’re popping corks and broadening our Bordeaux horizons! Join us for bubbles and other selections inspired by Bordeaux—not only wines from the legendary French region, but also bottles from around the world made with its celebrated grape varieties.
How do Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and their Bordeaux companions express themselves when they travel beyond their traditional home? Come discover what changes—and what remains unmistakably Bordeaux—when familiar grapes take root in new places.
Because October is better with good company, a little sparkle, and plenty of wine in your glass.

10/24 - Secret Wine Bar Event: Wine Pairing Dinner | Champagne vs Still Wines
Join us for a special ticketed event at the Secret Wine Bar where we host a radical twist on our recent wine pairing dinners. Since our France, Spain, & Italy vs the World dinners were a big hit, we're hosting another. Your meal will be prepared by Resident Chef, Cynthia Bloebaum with wines curated by Master Sommelier David Glancy.
David will guide you through this thoughtfully designed 3-course pairing menu, where each dish is complemented by one sparkling wine from Champagne and a contrasting still white, rosé or red from anywhere in the world. Bubbles are never wrong and can definitely carry on through a multi-course dinner, but some people prefer the calm of non-sparkling or opt to go to the dark side of wine.
With each course we ask: which do you like best, and what is the mystery challenger? Come taste, compare, and challenge your own assumptions as you experience the history and story behind every glass. Learn More & Reserve Seat
11/15 - Winemaker Jennie Murphy, Oxlee Graham

After helping craft multiple 100-point wines during her 12 years at Paul Hobbs Winery, Jennie founded Oxlee Graham Wines to focus on distinctive vineyards, lesser-known varietals, and thoughtful, low-intervention winemaking.

You can also meet her before and after the ticketed event in the Secret Wine Bar between 2:00 and 5:00p where select wines will be available to the public in flights, by the glass and by the bottle for here and to go - no ticket required
