Philly Wine Week

While it may still be a little chilly toward the end of March for many activities in and around Philadelphia, it’s never too cold for wine!  Philly wine week was begun in 2014 and now, in its fourth year, has expanded to include many more events as well as participating area restaurants. The organizers are committed to making wine and information about wine (how it’s made, what the different kinds are, how to determine what will be most pleasing for specific palates, etc.) more accessible to everyone. It’s grown tremendously each year and the opening event has been moved to its largest venue yet. The week-long, city-wide event kicks off on Thursday, March 22 at Philadelphia’s historic Armory with Opening Corks, where you can taste over 100 wines and sample foods from some of the areas best purveyors and restaurants. One dinner includes the opportunity to meet several wine makers and find out more about the process. If you like wine, this eight day event provides all kinds of different opportunities for date nights and other special occasions. There are themed events (regional wines from Spain or Italy, for example, as well as “classic” wines and mystery tastings) throughout the week at different locations.
