Featured Cincinnati Wine Events, Mar 19 – 26

It’s a slow week as far as wine events go, although I’m sure I’ve missed things. But there are two big things next week, to make up for the lack of one-off events. First off, it’s Restaurant Week. You can go to any of the listed Greater Cincinnati Independent restaurants and get a 3-course dinner for $26.10. Restaurant week runs March 22 – 28.

Next weekend is also BeerFest! I’m pretty sure you’ll find Kevin, probably with the Hoperatives, at the Festival on Friday night. After all, BeerFest is to the Hoperatives what WineFest is to me. You’ll be amazed at this particular BeerFest. It’s in the convention center and sounds like it’s roughly the size of the WineFest. Yep, it’s that big but a whole lot cheaper. It runs March 26-28 and features over 130 different beers. Tickets are only $35. Buy your tickets online ahead of time though, as they’re capping the number of guests for each session.

As a note, I will be out of town all next week and through the next weekend (I’m missing BeerFest). I’m sort of crossing the country, from Seattle to Orlando and back to Cincinnati. Needless to say, there will not be a Featured Events post next week – I’ll be somewhere between the West and East Coast and probably jetlagged.

Remember, all the recurring events, those dependable weekly tastings, are displayed on our calendar. The one-time events are after the jump.

Featured Cincinnati Wine Events Feb 27 – Mar 5

The Party Source has a slew of offerings during this upcoming pre-Wine Festival week, including a free Sampling Soiree (eat your way thru the Party Source). Jungle Jim’s is offering low-cost premium tastings in 3 different sessions tomorrow as well. The rest of the week is low-key, although there are two different wine/food options for Tuesday night out in Milford.

Next weekend begins the FESTive month of March, which offers three different alcohol-themed festivals: BockFest (March 5-7), the Cincinnati International Wine Festival (March 12-13), and BeerFest (March 26-28).

Featured Cincinnati Wine Events, Feb 20-26

After a crazy Valentine’s week, our wine events slow down a little. We’ve added Oakley Wines to the recurring wines section, as they offer a Friday evening tasting. New to our one-time listings is A Bottle or Two on Montgomery Road, which offers food and wine pairing events on the weekend.

My recommendation for the week? If you can, reserve a spot for the Malvirà wine tasting at The Party Source on Saturday. Additionally, you can join Rivertown Brewery, a new local brewery, at their Dilly Deli launch party on Tuesday evening.

Featured Cincinnati Wine Events: Feb 5 – 12

Be still my beating heart! The Weekly Wine Events are back! Really, all is takes is for me to be in town longer than a week at a time. And happily, I’m in town for quite a while this time! I’m terribly behind at this, and my calendar crashed and lost a lot of information this morning. So … please let me know what I’ve missed and I’ll add it to the calendar!

You’re probably thinking Super Bowl for this weekend, but take a moment to peruse the rest of the February calendar. There are all sorts of great events coming up. Of course, if you look ahead on the calendar, you’ll see things with a Valentine’s theme starting to pop up. In my Molecular Bartending post last week, Josh commented and said he’ll be offering cocktail classes at Tonic soon as well. I don’t know what the schedule is for that, but as soon as I know – well, you’ll find it on the calendar and I’ll make sure to share. Pucks & Pinot is also next week. It’s the Cincinnati Cyclones wine tasting event. I mention it because I’m in love with the name!

I want to take a minute to let you know about Give to Haiti weekend at The Wine Merchant (3972 Edwards Road
Oakley). All wine bar proceeds made during the week benefit Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund, so head over to their wine bar tonite through Sunday.

Featured Cincinnati Wine Events: Dec 12-18

If you’re free tonite, I’ll be helping out over at Water Tower Fine Wines and pouring Blends and Meritages. I’d love it if you dropped by to say hello!

Pay attention to your local wine shop. Some of the shops, such as Dep’s Fine Wine & Spirits, Uncorked at the Art of Entertaining, and Jungle Jim’s are either wrapping up their weekly tastings for the year or have already stopped until January. Because of this, a lot of the yearly tastings are slowing down. After all, you’re spending all your time at holiday parties instead!

Fountain Square at Christmas, 2008

I list Little Sonoma (West Chester) as a regular tasting, but each weekend through December, they’re offering some great holiday themed tastings, including sparklers and gift wines. You’ll definitely want to check them out. Additionally, The Party Source really pulls out all the stops with end of year classes between now and Christmas, so try to take in a class or two this December.
