The New Wine Rules is heading out on the road!
Because rules—OK, these rules—are a lot more fun in practice than in theory, I’ll be crossing the country this spring for a series of tastings, conversations and dinners focused on what it means to be a wine lover today, in an era with a lot less rigid rules than in the past.
Please check back here often as we’ll be adding cities and events as they’re confirmed. Don’t see your city listed? Don’t worry! I expect to be back out on the road (including overseas) later in the year. Got a suggestion for a city or venue I should visit? Don’t hesitate to let me know. Got a media request? Please be in touch!
