You know Shall We Wine for in-store demos and consumer events.

Did you know that we also plan corporate events?

We work with our corporate clients to create wine, beer and spirit-focused experiences. These experiences include: wine dinners, wine tastings, team building "cocktail" exercises and more!

Last month, Shall We Wine worked with VNA on their annual VNA Uncorked Fundraising Gala. We curated the wines and provided five wine consultants to manage tasting stations. At this event, I partnered with Chef Paul Lindemuth, Executive Chef at Marcel’s Culinary Experience for a food demo and wine tasting pairing.

12/9 - Najwa Dance Corps Presents “Tell It Like It Is”

On December 9th, the Najwa Dance Corps in collaboration with some of Chicago’s leading poets will be merging the worlds of dance and poetry at the DuSable Museum of African American History. Dance is woven into the cultural fabric of the African Diaspora. “Tell It Like It Is” is both a modern and historical reflection of defining elements within these art mediums. "As with dance, spoken word also has a movement and rhythm which can be used to illustrate the tapestries of life." Click here for more info.

All is fine with sparkling wine!

You know I love bubbles. I was bubbly pleased when one of my favorite wineries Winter’s Hill released their first bottling of sparkling wine. The 2016 Ninebark Brut is a 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. Made in the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle, and aged 18 months. Roasted almonds, pie crust, melon and honey on the nose. This is a luscious bubbly, the palate mirroring the nose with ripe melons, lime and apple pie and a cheerful acidity.

This will become your Sunday morning, listening to Sam Smith, contemplating the meaning of life wine.
