  • Penedes Party! - Spanish Wine Dinner

    $100.00 per person

    Prepaid

    Jun 5, 2025 only
    Penedès is the most important viticultural area in Catalonia (northeastern Spain) in terms of both volumes produced and the diversity of wine styles. In fact, everyone's fave Spanish Sparkling, Cava, comes from Penedès! We'll be hosting Don from Free Run Wine Merchants as we share some of Jenna's favorite party wines from Penedès on Thursday, June 5. Seats are $100 per person (including tax and gratuity) and include a four course meal with wine pairings. This should be a super fun evening! (Must be 21+ to enjoy the wine!) Menu to be announced!

    Always enjoy WW...did think the food was not as exceptional as in the pass, but still a good value for the $$...had the mahi mahi fish tacos and steak/brie sandwich...both middle of the road. Staff very attentive and helpful.

    Our first trip to the Wine Whisperer. We enjoyed it very much. The way the menu is set up those that are looking for a full entree can enjoy that while those that want something a little lighter can get that as well. We started with the broccolini and burrata and the Muhammur dip apps. My gnocchi with pesto and roasted chicken breast was delicious. My wife tells me that her chicken breast was tender and moist and she really enjoyed the presentation. Service was good, the pace was a bit more relaxed that we are used to and it was a bit noisy until one particular party left - then it was fine. We'll be back.

    Great little spot for a light bite and wine or drinks. The filet and Brie sandwich is a favorite. The Brussel sprout salad was fresh and not over dressed. The wine flights are always fun - allow them to pick your wines. I’ve never been disappointed! Staff are friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely go back again.

    We got wine flights chosen by our waiter and they were perfect! I’m not very well versed in wine amd it was exactly what I would have chosen if I knew what I was doing. The food was great too!
