The sommeliers’ mission is to pair the ideal wine with each of the four courses created by Chef Ed Cotton. Wines are served blind, putting instinct, balance, and expertise to the test.
Your mission is to be the judge. Using your smartphone, you’ll vote for the wine you feel best complements each dish. Votes are revealed after each round, building toward an overall winner crowned at the end of the evening.

Guests play an active role throughout the night. Vote digitally after each course, see the results revealed in real time, and help decide which sommelier takes the title.
