The wines presented are all 90+ point rated and will be concealed in mystery bags. All you’ll know is if it’s red or white. Each guest will be given a journal at the beginning of the tasting to take notes on the mystery wines. Snack on decadent desserts and make your way to the dance floor, a live DJ will be playing. Be sure to vote for your favorite before the night is over! The best mystery bottle will be awarded. The night will end with a wine reveal so that you can meet your “wine” in a million.
