About Us

We’re kicking off 2026 with a new way to sip, learn and have a little fun at Beauty: Grape School!

Join us on the first Monday of every month (Jan. to May) from 6:30PM to 7:30 PM for a Grape Exploration. Each session includes two (and sometimes more) expressions of the featured grape, 

paired bites, tasting notes, special guests and discounts on wine. 

It’s equal parts delicious and educational... like a wine class, but fun!

January 5 – Malbec with Andrew Stover

A look at how Malbec shifts across regions, comparing a cooler-climate 

New York or French expression with a richer style for contrast. 

February 2 – Nebbiolo with Holly Feraci

A special Valentine/Galentine edition exploring Italy’s most romantic (and dramatic) grape, 

from rose-petaled aromatics to its rich, soulful depth. 

Perfect for sipping with your sweetheart or your besties.

March 2 – Women’s History Month with Tamara Wilkerson

A celebration of women in wine featuring a woman-led winery and Tamara’s perspective on women in wine and the stories behind the bottles.

April 6 – Grüner Veltliner with Klaus Wittauer (April 6th is Easter Monday, so the final date is TBD)

A dive into Austria’s zesty darling, from peppery classics to more textured styles, guided by Klaus’ expertise and great storytelling. With our Austria Wine Trip coming up, this session with Klaus is the perfect preview of what’s ahead. Plus, last call to Reserve!

May 4 – Sagrantino with Nick Siema (Star Wars Day) 

An exploration of one of Italy’s boldest, most powerful grapes, with Nick leading the way and a little Star Wars Day fun. May the pours be with you.
