Keoni and Bonnie

We’ve been looking forwad to this for a while. This wine event was at Brumby Gardens in Marietta and sponsered by the Marietta Wine Market (off the Square). We went last year and enjoyed it so much that we made sure to be there this year as well.

There were over 150 wines to taste plus food, music and art. The charge in advance was $45.00 per person and $55.00 at the door. They also limit it to less than 200 people so it’s not too crowded.

One of the most unique things there is a round table topped with wine glasses that has every taste and smell that you can imagine that is in wine. They really want you to experience the full sensory evaluation of the wine.

Keoni and I prefer reds to whites so we only tried reds and ones we haven’t had before. There’s no way you can try them all! I also wanted to especially try some of the more expensive ones. Overall, they had affordable wines available and a lot of them are from small produtions.

The Marietta Wine Market has wine tastings on Wed. from 5-7 and Sat. from 2-4. There is no charge but they recommend a donation to the charity of the week. The owners, Randal and Karen, are very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions you have about wine. They also now have specialty foods available to take out and lots of unique gifts for the wine lover.
