Somm Series: Oktoberfest
Somm Series: Oktoberfest
Join us for Somm Series at Cork & Stem!
The Somm Series is a monthly workshop-style event to demystify the world of wine and make it fun, approachable and accessible to all levels of wine drinkers. Whether you're a certified sommelier yourself or you simply love learning what’s in your glass, this event is a great way to network with fellow wine lovers and learn more about different topics in the wine world.
October's workshop celebrates Oktoberfest and the incredible wines coming out of Germany. Our host, Tami Wong, has traveled the world, experiencing regional wines alongside those that make them, love them, and bring them to life. As always, tickets include a 5-pour tasting and a 1-hour presentation from Tami. Learn more about her story below!
