East Coast v West Coast Wine Showdown
Friday September 5, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
It’s back and bolder than ever. One of our most popular classes returns with a brand-new twist: San Luis Obispo County takes on the Finger Lakes in a coast-to-coast wine brawl that’s as educational as it is entertaining.
Representing the West, Anthony Velasquez brings his SLO Coast vibes and deep knowledge of Cali’s sun-kissed wines. He’s ready to prove that the Golden State still sets the bar.
But don’t count out the East. Thera Clark, a Canandaigua native, enters the ring with cool-climate confidence and a lineup of expressive, nuanced, and elegant wines from New York.
Each coast brings three wines to the table in a head-to-head showdown. You’ll taste, compare, debate, and ultimately decide who deserves the crown this round. Expect lively banter, fierce competition, passion behind the pours, and plenty of regional pride to go around. Which coast will reign supreme? Join us and cast your vote.
Menu
Enjoy a blind tasting of 6 wines alongside a pairing plate by Chef Pamela Cecere.
