PSA: Major upcoming public wine tastings featuring top European estates

January and February are typically busy months for the European wine trade in the U.S., with winemakers and proprietors frequently traveling here to attend the various promotional events that happen during these months. We track these events closely since so many of our winery partners participate, and we keep an updated list on our website for folks to reference.

While I know many people here are familiar with some or all of these events, I thought the WB community might be interested in a brief list of them all in one place to peruse and potentially plan around. These are events of various shapes/sizes/formats/prices, and are generally open to the public.

[Note: we have no affiliation with any of them, other than the occasional winery partner of ours participating. We believe the data are current and accurate, but of course be sure to check/confirm if you have interest.]

Thanks, Kevin,

For posting these. Very interesting. (Too many in too short a timeframe, though.)
