So far, the 30 for $30 wine tasting events have been a big success for the Burgundy Room; I have managed to make all of them with the exception of the Italian event (that taking place right before Husband's Italian adventure, I decided to take it out on the Italian wine industry as a whole). Aside from being an unvelievable value, the events are always educational; those who pour the wine are well-informed about their products, and occasionally, the importer is there to offer further insight into the lives of the winemakers whose wines you are tasting.
Although it is probably sold out, there is one Thursday, July 28th, at 7pm featuring the wines of Sourth America. Future events are Thursday, August 25th, at 7pm, featuring another visit to Spain with 30 new wines - all different from the previous Spain event. On September 15th, at 7pm, the 30 for $30 will feature a tour of the Burgundy Room's favorite wines.
Info: The Burgundy Room 641 N. High Street Columbus 614.464.WINE(9463) The events fill up really fast, so call early - prepayment is required. Although they serve light hors d'ouevres, you might want to eat something before you come. 30 tastes of wine do, however, equal more than a bottle, and of course you'll want to revisit your favorites.
