Think you know your Phinny wines? Let’s put your palate to the test. This session dives into the bold, unforgettable world of Dave Phinny’s winemaking—featuring selections from his legendary portfolio, including Locations, Department 66, Shatter, and Orin Swift.

The twist? It’s all blind. No labels, just your senses. You’ll be guided through five mystery pours—including a brand-new Orin Swift release—while guessing the grapes and unraveling the stories behind each glass.

Your $50 ticket includes:

– 5 blind 2oz pours

– Cheese, charcuterie & small bites

– Expert-led tasting hosted by Ryan Keaton

Whether you're a die-hard Phinny fan or just curious about what makes his wines so iconic, this is your chance to explore them in a completely new way.

Spots are limited. Reserve yours now—because once these bottles are revealed, you’ll want to say you tasted them first.
