An Alternative History of American Wine with Lewis Kopman, 8/26/2026

$40.00

Explore a curious, creative, and bold side of American winemaking through creative producers, unexpected grape varieties, and approaches that challenge the usual ideas of what American wine can be. Join us on Wednesday, August 26 at 6pm on the mezzanine to discover another side of American wine history.

This tasting takes you beyond the usual paths and well-known American names to discover a more independent, experimental side of wine, with a strong focus on terroir.

A 25-year sensory journey awaits, from the energy of a 2025 sparkling wine to the elegance of a 1999 Cabernet.

About Lewis Kopman

Lewis Kopman founded GK Selections in 2022, and launched a domestic portfolio in 2024, with a focus on a forgotten, wonderful history of American wine that looks back beyond California Cabernet, Oregon Pinot Noir, or NY Riesling. The focus is on wine of balance, patience, tertiary complexity, and finesse.

Please join us on Wednesday, August 26 at 6pm on the mezzanine to discover American wine history from a different perspective. Seating is limited.
