Curious Palate | Roots to Stars: Aquarius

January 21, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

$40.00

Each year, we offer a new Curious Palate Wine Experience theme to sip n’ play with; a fun way to share wine and culture with a new view.  This year, we thought it would be fun to explore the characteristics of the vines with the characteristics of the Zodiac!  We’ll explore wines, varieties, and regions from around the world intending to find out if they truly resonate with the astrological traits of each sign!

The first tasting experience of 2026 will feature celestial selections to emulate the characteristics and quirks of Aquarius! What wines reflect the imaginative and free-spirited Water Bearer? Let’s find out!

Certified Wine Geek, Michaela Hightower will lead you on a tasting journey offering in-depth learning, socializing, friendly and professional guided instruction, witty comments, a couple of goofy moments, and the delightful tasting of 1 sparkling and 4 still wines expertly paired with food bites.
5:45 pm: Doors Open
6:00 pm: Welcome!
 
Tipsy Turvy Tasting Tactics – If you haven’t been to a tasting event with Michaela, you might consider attending this portion to learn the actual Tasting Tactics we’ll be using. There is a Right Way to do it…and the other just Doesn’t Work Right way to do it…come sip n’ learn! Even if you know it ALL, Michaela might surprise you! If you are well versed in Michaela’s Tasting Tactics, then catch up with classmates, sip bubbles, and gossip!
 
6:22ish – 7:30 pm: All the seriousness of the curiousness and wine shenanigans happen!
 
Space is limited; advanced paid reservations are required.
