The Brooklyn tasting will feature over 175 wines along with light fare including cheese and cracker selections and hors d’oeuvres, plus numerous artisan food tables sampling charcuterie, vegan delights, baked goods, dipping oils, salsas, chocolates, non-alcoholic beverages, and more. Participating artisanal food companies sampling their offerings will also feature full sized items for patrons to purchase and enjoy at home. Guests will also be able to take home their complimentary wine tasting glass as a souvenir and enjoy live contemporary jazz performances throughout the evening by award-winning saxman Elan Trotman and his band.
Tasting tables located throughout the industrial space will feature a mix of wines apropos for fall sipping and the upcoming holiday season. Selections include lush, full-bodied red wines, refreshing white wines, plus sweet, sparkling, and specialty selections. Old, new and emerging wine regions will be represented and include varietals from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, South America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and more. Once again, the event will feature several New York State wineries and guests will be able to purchase selections they enjoy by the bottle or case.
“It’s a pleasure return to Brooklyn with this always-lively event,” notes Sam Kimball, founder of New York Wine Events. “The crowd ranges from wine-loving novices to those with more seasoned palates as well as foodies looking to explore tasty finds from Brooklyn and beyond. This fall’s wine selections – including some amazing ones from New York State – along with an array of craft food makers, plus Elan Trotman’s masterful sax skills are sure to create a festive atmosphere.”
Saxophonist Elan Trotman has quickly become one of jazz’s most exciting performers as he continues to stand out and push boundaries as a composer, performer, teacher and recording artist. He has recorded and performed with a number of world-class musicians, including Michael McDonald, Roberta Flack, Jonathan Butler, Keiko Matsui, Johnny Gill, Earl Klugh, Jeff Lorber, Peter White, and Brian Simpson, among others.
