You are bidding on a wine tasting for 6 people, with food pairings donated by Cosmos Catering. Jerry Swartz of Glass Half Full will bring a selection of wines from the European region of your choosing, discuss the intricacies of the wines as you taste it and then enjoy the bottles with the paired food. The bonus to the tasting will be a special bottle from the cellar of John Yingling.

Glass Half Full

We offer uncommon (terroir) wines made by uncommon wine growers. You know, the crazy ones who are in love with their land and honor the traditions. These iconoclasts believe the neighbors are heretics and whores. They loathe the modern manipulation techniques taught to their fathers at U. Cal. Davis. They practice their grandfathers' old-school ways, which are obsessively organic. This movement increasingly transcends gender and geography. Their wines are crazy too... crazy good, that is.
