VINE TO GLASS:
Moonlit Cellars:
AN EVENING OF AGED WINES
& AUTUMN AROMATICS
Celebrate the season of stillness and depth with a twilight tasting dedicated to the art of age. In this winter solstice gathering, certified sommelier Justin Ferguson (@theblacksommrva) will guide you through four aged wines — complex reds, nuanced whites, and a rare oxidative style — each paired with an evocative small plate designed to echo the wine’s evolution. Alongside the tasting, guests will explore a botanical aroma station featuring dried herbs, spices, and forest scents that mirror the wines’ maturity. This is an experience for the curious, the contemplative, and anyone who believes the best things in life — like wine — only get better with time.
Wines:
A curated selection of four aged wines from iconic regions and vintages, including structured reds, oxidative whites, and a late-harvest or fortified pour. Complete lineup revealed during the event.
