Some readers will may recall a posting in which I talked about discovering a wine bar in the Fells Point area of Baltimore.

Well, if you haven’t been to it yet, here’s your perfect excuse.  Chris Kern, the very engaging wine expert from California, will be entertaining Baltimore with his special kind of wine experience: Getting Friendly with Forgotten Grapes”  at the V-NO Wine Bar in Baltimore on Tuesday, August 17th at 6:30pm.

“Getting Friendly with Forgotten Grapes” is not your typical ‘stand-pour-and-sip’ wine tasting and most likely is unlike any other wine tasting you’ve ever attended.  It’s a two-hour wine tasting extravaganza focused on the Forgotten Grapes, the lesser-known and uncommon varietals of the wine world (think everything that’s not Cab, Chard, Merlot, Pinot, Sauv Blanc or Syrah).   Everyone in the audience will get to taste along with glasses of five different Forgotten Grapes as Chris tells stories, cracks jokes, sings songs, dresses up in costume, and relates each varietal to a pop culture icon as a way to introduce Baltimore wine lovers to these exceptional wines that they really should be drinking.

I think it’s an event every wine lover in the area needs to know about.  The cost of the event is only $29 per person, which includes the two-hour show and generous pours of each of the five Forgotten Grape wines. Reservations can be made by calling V-NO Wine Bar directly at (410) 342-8466, but please note that seating for the event is very limited and it is expected to sell out, so if you are interested in attending, call V-NO as soon as you can to make your advanced reservation. V-NO Wine Bar is located at 905 South Ann Street in Fells Point in Baltimore.
