Uncorked Events

The Magic
If you’ve ever been to Spain or Portugal, you know all about the magical feeling that washes over you as you enter their shores. The people, food, culture, nightlife, beaches and WINE of these two countries that comprise the Iberian peninsula are unrivaled.

The Dramatic Setting
We will be introduce the Uncorked community to the beautiful and sexy Vessel SF nightclub, providing the perfect backdrop for these wines of distinct history, value and quality. This stunning venue is conveniently located on the edge of Financial District so you can quickly end a days work with over 85 of the very best wines from Spain and Portugal. Check out pictures from last years event.

The Wine
On the Spanish front, you will taste the hearty reds of the Priorat and Ribera del Duero, the classics from Rioja, bubbly from Penedès , as well as wines from up and coming regions like Jumilla, Toro, Rías Baixas and La Mancha. You will taste lots of Tempranillo (the great grape of Spain), along with Cabernet, Garnacha, Albariño, Cava, Viura and many more.

When it comes to Portugal, you all have likely had their port – and you will try many on this evening. What you may be less familiar with are the great non-dessert wines of Portugal. How about a little Alentejo or Bairrada, or perhaps a little Vinho Verde? Come experience some of these little known gems that are often in the shadow of this Port empire.

The Extras
Artisinal Spanish cheeses, olives and cured meats will be provided from A.G. Ferrari and DJ Sol spinning flamenco-inspirded lounge grooves.

The Bottom Line
When a wine is extraordinary, Spainards say “Beber este vino es como hablar con Dios” — “Tasting this wine is like talking with God”. You may just might concur by night’s end.
