Our December 5 event sold so quickly, we’ve decided to add another date for this event: Saturday, November 14. Get tickets at the link below!
Join us for an elegant afternoon exploring a collection of exceptional wines selected for the holiday season.
This special tasting features four remarkable wines—from celebrated producers and world-class vineyards—each thoughtfully paired with artisan cheeses chosen to highlight the character and complexity of every pour. Along the way, we’ll share the stories behind the wines, what makes them extraordinary, and simple pairing insights you can use throughout the holiday season.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect bottle to grace your holiday table, looking for memorable gifts, or simply wanting to experience some truly outstanding wines, this relaxed and intimate tasting is designed to delight both seasoned enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike.
Spend an hour sipping, savoring, and celebrating the season with the team from Euphoric Cheese Shop and Sparrow Wine Bar.
On the cheese side…
Amy Burritt, co-owner of Euphoric Cheese Shop and Sparrow Wine Bar, brings her deep-rooted love of cheese to the table. Raised in a family of specialty food lovers (her parents founded South Slope Cheese Co. in Asheville), Amy has a knack for making cheese both approachable and endlessly interesting. Expect a few laughs, some great stories, and at least one “you have to try this” moment—especially if you ask what she’s loving right now.
On the wine side…
Mandy Glenn, your guide through the glass and bartender at Sparrow, pours with equal parts knowledge and enthusiasm. Her curiosity about wine—from the people behind it to the flavors in your glass—is infectious. She’ll have you noticing things you’ve never quite tasted before… and probably wanting another sip.
How it Works
We’ll taste, chat, and enjoy our way through all four pairings together. When we wrap up, the wine bar will open for regular service at 3pm—so you’re welcome to stay, order a glass, and keep the afternoon going.
