NVC Estate Winery Friday Tasting Series with MaryAnn Worobiec
March 27 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm PDT
We are opening the doors to an experience usually reserved for the inner circle of the wine world.
The one and only MaryAnn Worobiec—Senior Editor and Napa Valley Bureau Chief of Wine Spectator—is taking the stage.
Not a lecture. Not a tasting note in a magazine.
A rare, unfiltered journey behind the scenes of the most powerful publication in wine.
What really happens when the world’s most influential critics rate a wine?
What stories never make it to print?
What does it take to shape an industry from the inside?
She’s going to tell you. Stories will be told. Wines will be tasted. Friendships will be forged.
This is not a large gathering.
Tickets are extremely limited. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
What you need to bring:
4 to 5 wine glasses per person. (Yes, you’ll understand why.)
