During this event a wine educator lead the event participants through an approachable tasting experience using The Urban Grape’s Progressive Scale, this is a unique way of organizing wine by its body, rather than varietal or region, as a way to help you pick the perfect wine for your palate. The attendees tried four wines and enjoyed cheese & charcuterie provided by Curds & Co. Hope our attendees had a chance to cultivate their inner sommelier, learn about small businesses, and make some new connections with other female professionals!
