Red Wine and Blue is a summer wine tasting built around the simple pleasure of gathering around good bottles without turning the evening into a flag-themed grocery aisle.

This tasting celebrates the season with wines that feel right for warm nights and backyard conversations, the kind of relaxed summer mood that makes people linger a bit. The theme may be red, white, and blue, but the focus is firmly on wines that are expressive, food-friendly, and worth talking about.

Expect a lineup with enough variety to keep the evening interesting: reds with personality, whites with freshness, and bottles that fit the summer table with or without fireworks.

We’ll guide the tasting in Sweet Luncheonette style: approachable, thoughtful, and just technical enough to make the wines more fun, not more intimidating. Because if a wine tasting starts feeling like a standardized test, someone has lost the plot and possibly the corkscrew.
