Breakthrough’s annual wine tasting event will take place from 6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on August 1, 2024 at The Standard.

As always, for a chance to take home the cellar, bring two bottles of the same wine, one for blind tasting, and one for the cellar.

You’ll be the judge as you taste the wines throughout the evening and the owner of the wine selected as the “best wine” will go home with all of the bottles in the “wine cellar”. There are two cellars, one for red and one for white.

*You are not required to bring wine and can attend solely as a taster.
