Old World vs New World: A Comparative Wine Tasting

Join us for an exceptional evening of wine discovery. Explore lesser-known varietals through the lens of old world vs. new world wines—from festive whites to bold, crowd-pleasing reds.

You’ll taste 8 wines side-by-side, showcasing classic varietals from France, Germany & Spain as well as the United States, Uruguay, and Argentina! This tasting highlights the fascinating contrast between Old World and New World winemaking styles, giving you the rare opportunity to compare the same grape varietals from different regions and terroirs.

Hosted at The Tinsmith, this experience is guided by the expert team from Left Bank Wine & Spirits, who will walk you through tasting notes, provenance, and food pairings. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned wine lover, you'll gain valuable insight—and maybe even find your new favorite bottle.

It’s the perfect chance to taste, learn, and pre-order wines —whether for your own table or as thoughtful gifts. All wines featured will be available for purchase, with same-week pickup options.
