This is one of the strangest combinations I’ve come across. Harmony Hill Vineyards is coming to the Mainstay Rock Bar downtown. I know Harmony Hill does the music thing, but hmm …. Regardless of how strange I think the combination, I’m certainly going to be there. After all, the most important thing about this event is that the wine from out in Bethel will be exposed to folks in downtown Cincinnati. I’m all for that!
The event costs $20 and includes a wine tasting (flight I assume) from Harmony Hill and a chance to meet and greet with the winemaker, Bill Skvarla. Bill is an absolute hoot, and explains the science behind wine better than anyone I’ve met. So take this closer-to-home chance to meet him. Your $20 also gets you a selection of paired appetizers prepared by Mainstay.
Come to the party on Thursday, September 16, from 6-8 pm. Mainstay is located on the corner of 5th and Plum, at 301 West 5th Street. Tickets are available at the door.

Wine Girl,
Thank you so much for the write up ! I know this seems like a strange combo – but as a Sommelier – soon to be Advanced Level God willing – I know how intimidating people feel at your “run of the mill” tastings. I wanted this event to be fun and hip – we plan to bring in some great music for the event as well.
Bill is the best and who doesn’t want to hear straight from the winemakers’ mouth how his wines are grown, nurtured and brought to the very sip you are tasting.
Glad you will be there – going to be fabulous !
