Register HERE!
Join us for a refreshing detour from the usual red wine path at Daft Cow Brewery’s Event Room on Sunday, May 24 at 3 PM for a guided wine tasting class led by Sam Fundenburg.
This class explores the lighter, brighter side of red wine - bottles that shine with a slight chill and deliver freshness, texture, and surprising complexity. Guests will taste through five distinctive European reds from under-the-radar grapes and regions, including alpine Schiava from Alto Adige, juicy Gamay from Beaujolais, rustic Trousseau from France’s Jura, spicy Austrian Zweigelt, and a vibrant Sicilian blend of Frappato and Nerello Mascalese.
