Ratings are an integral part of the fine wine business.  Winemakers and wholesalers use these ratings to help sell their wine.  Wine buyers and enthusiasts use these ratings as a "quality assurance" method to making wine choices.  All the wines we will taste tonight have earned a high A (90+) rating from the various wine media and critics.  Join us to see if you agree and get a chance to purchase some highly rated wines before they are sold out.  Reservations for this numbers game are required and can be made by calling or clicking (813) 879-2931. $25, reservations required.
