Description

Join us for an engaging and social wine experience at Eureka! McConnell Science Museum, where curiosity meets the glass. This guided tasting will explore three iconic Italian red varietals from Piedmont—Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto each offering a distinct expression of place, structure, and personality.

Designed for wine lovers of all experience levels. We’ll introduce each grape, discuss what makes it unique and compelling, and encourage open conversation as guests discover the language that best describes what they taste. Whether you’re new to Italian wines or already a devoted fan, the emphasis is on exploration, enjoyment, and connection.

The evening will be led by Isaac Ketcham, wine professional with Synergy Fine Wines and Atlasta Solar Center, who brings a relaxed, conversational approach to wine education that emphasizes discovery over formality.

Wine purchases at the conclusion of the event are entirely optional. For those who choose to buy a case, 15% of proceeds will be donated back to the museum, supporting science education in our community. We are grateful to Fisher's Liquor Barn for sponsoring the event and making this experience possible.

Come taste, learn, and connect—through wine, conversation, and shared curiosity.
