Wine & Cheese Tasting: Urban Wineries
It seems like everything is all about local these days, from the food we eat to the mayors we elect. And why not? After all, New York boasts the best of everything; so why are our wineries so often overlooked? Enter viticulturist (that means grower-of-grapes) Devin Shomaker, and third-generation winemaker Evan Miles, the brains behind Brooklyn's latest urban ag innovation, Rooftop Reds. New guys on the block, Devin and Evan will take a break from grafting vines onto the rows of their rooftop space to prove that New York wines can hold their own against the finest bottles from California and France, and to share their favorite selections of state-grown juice.
Hang on a second, though. We're not just talking wines local to NY State. We're looking to local on a whole new level at this tasting and focusing on urban wineries right here in Brooklyn! Did you know there were wineries right here in the city?
Rooftop Reds will guide us through the hows, whys, and wheres of making wine in the city as we taste some of the finest whites and reds coming out of the 5 boroughs. As they say, if it grows together, it goes together, so expect some nibbles of artisanal local cheeses and tips on pairing wine with cheese at home!
After attending this tasting, you'll never again freeze up when presented with a list of domestic bottles. But don't whine about missing this opportunity to try these amazing selections; get your tickets today!
