Somm Series: Pride in Every Pour
Somm Series: Pride in Every Pour
Join us for Somm Series at Cork & Stem!
In honor of San Diego Pride Week, this month's Somm Series will focus on Pride in Every Pour: A Queer Winemaker Celebration, led by our in-house beverage curator and the owner of Piqué Wines, Presston. This guided tasting will feature five exceptional wines crafted by queer winemakers, each pour paired with stories that highlight identity, passion, and pride in the wine world.
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.
