Our friends at Jenny & Francois Selections are hosting a week of tastings and wine events this month, and we’ve teamed up with them and Roebling Tea Room to give you a chance to break bread, drink wine and listen to several winemakers speak about their methods. Jenny & Francois import natural wines, which are made from grapes grown without chemicals, and produced without sugar, sulfites or any other additives. Wines made in this style reflect the quality of the grapes, the land, the weather and the skill of the winemaker with unparalleled purity and character.

We’ve organized two dinners, with wines from five different winemakers, all of whom will attend. Tickets are $70, which includes all wine (there will be A LOT of wine) and paired courses. Follow the links to Brown Paper Tickets below to purchase, and reserve soon because spots are limited.
