Join Charlie Qian '16 and Naeem Zafar ‘81 for an interactive and immersive wine-tasting session. We will explore a carefully curated list of wines and examine the impact of nature and human intervention on the same grape varietals. The session will involve semi-blind tastings and dynamic discussions, providing a captivating exploration before revealing the wine details. The event will conclude with an additional round of blind tasting, and the winner will receive an award!
We offer a variety of events throughout the year, from lectures to happy hours and everything in-between.
