 Event Details
 
The 4th Annual Nicholas Roberts Group Fall Wine Tasting will feature over 40 wines from the Winebow Imports portfolio. The event is held to raise funds for Turning Wine Into Water, a not for profit organization dedicated to supplying potable water to underdeveloped nations.

The tasting is free of charge, though Turning Wine Into Water volunteers will be asking for an “at will” donation at registration. 10% of all wine sales collected from the afternoon will be donated directly to Turning Wine Into Water.

The event will be held at Equinox Fitness in Darien, CT. Equinox Fitness has once again been gracious enough to donate the space for Turning Wine Into Water!

If you haven’t yet attended this event, you’re really missing out! Executive Chef Robert Troilo provides a delectable selection of hors d’oeuvres, the wine selections are always superb and offer a varied range from $12 the bottle to $100 the bottle. It’s a great opportunity to taste and purchase wines for your holiday occasions!

We don't yet have a final list, but here's a taste of what we've confirmed will be poured at the event.

Aalto Ribera del Duero 2005 (from Mariano Garcia, former winemaker of Vaga Sicilia) - WA 95
