Caveats & Fine Print:

For those who are unfamiliar with how we do things at these tastings, it’s really quite simple, and a whole lot of fun.

One Monday a month we set aside a portion of the restaurant for those who want to revel in the glory of the grape with others of their own ilk. It’s just $20 this year, and for that paltry sum you get tastes (roughly 2-3 ounce pours) of 4 different wines in some sort of cohesive theme, as well as a tapa or two to match and some sparkling conversation with winemakers, wine sellers, fellow wine lovers and of course Devotay sommelier Morgan Weiss.

All are welcome, from the novice to the bonafide sommelier. All you need is an interest in wine and the ability to bend your elbow. Actually, not even that – we have straws if you need’em.

Slow Food members get $2.00 off, and everyone who sticks around for a full dinner afterward can enjoy 25% off any bottle on our list.

It’s always on a Monday, and the fun always begins at 6:30. Make your reservations by calling the restaurant at 319.354.1001.
