Whenever our favorite suppliers throw their once-yearly portfolio tastings, we get emails, texts and calls from our best customers wondering if we can get them on the guest list. We can't blame them: these tastings, always exclusively for the trade, are the supplier's opportunity to showcase their top producers in an intimate setting, and they're always a ton of fun. But the trade exclusivity is a hard and fast rule, and the answer has always been a sad "no"—until our friends at Banville Wine Merchants generously opened their doors to our customers for a special VIP consumer session, happening next week.
That event sold out quickly, to no one's surprise, and the Banville folks have been kind enough to extend another very cool invitation to our audience, this time to their U.S. and New World portfolio tasting. Also located at their offices in Murray Hill, this time on August 18 from 5-6:30pm, this VIP consumer tasting will feature wines by Sokol Blosser, Thomas Fogarty, and Maison Noir, new-wave Australian favorites William Downie and Barr-Eden, and more––take a look at the list below to see them all.
This is a non-comprehensive list––there will be many more cool bottles open on the day!

We often include a store credit with our event ticket. But in this case, 100% of your $50 ticket goes toward a store credit for use towards any wine from the tasting or the Banville portfolio. (Yes, you read that right.) Space is limited, so don't wait to grab your ticket. We hope you can join us Monday, August 18 from 5 to 6:30pm at the Banville offices for this exciting grand tasting.
