On Saturdays at Kitchen Essence, we like to throw open the doors for casual, free, themed beer and wine tastings. There is no better way to purchase wine than the one guided by the clear philosophy of "Try Before You Buy." No matter what the academics and advertisers say, your palette is your most trusted guide.
