Swing by a Best Cellars basically any evening except Sunday (they’re closed unfortunately) and you can probably get a few sips of free wine. But on “Tasty Tuesdays” the store’s Dupont Circle location holds themed tastings. While the events cost $10, tasters are usually given generous pours to savor that make the admission price well worth it. Drink, be merry and learn a little bit along the way. Who knows, you might find your next calling.
On July 21, there will be a beginner-friendly tasting focusing on New World wines showcasing reds, whites, and rosés from the U.S., South Africa, Argentina and Australia (all among the world’s top ten producers and exporters of the good stuff). But just because you’ve expanded your wine knowledge a bit, please don’t become that annoying snob at the dinner party.
Note: Reservations are required.
