How many sips does it take to get to the bottom of your favorite wine? If you’re like us then you’re too busy chugging to count. That’s why we think Around the World in 80 Sips is the coolest thing in wine since the twist-off screw cap came around. On February 25th the premiere online wine community Bottlenotes is hosting Around the World in 80 Sips at Crushpad in Potrero Hill.

No matter if you’ve always known you love wine or you just started to experiment, Around the World in 80 Sips is the event that will please the uninitiated and the connoisseur alike. Wineries like Pine Ridge and Red Truck Wines will be there offering up what you know and love and will also be showing off their more boutique wines. With an opportunity to taste over 80 wines from around the world and talk with the people who know the difference between Burgundy and Beaujolais, you can’t go wrong. Of course any wine event would be remiss without food so there will be many chefs from all over the bay area promoting themselves and their restaurants, which means free fancy snacks for you and a chance to get the inside scoop on the best of the best in the bay.

An added perk to this whole event is a chance to get a sneak peek at Crushpad. If this is the first you’ve heard of Crushpad then be prepared to fall in love. At this state-of-the-art wine-making and events facility you can make, bottle and label your own wine. With the help of their skilled vintners you can start your own wine business, tailor a wine to your specific tastes, or have a fabulous personal gift to give away that gets better every year you give it.

Getwize: Buy your tickets early to get them for $65 instead of the usual $75 here. Crushpad is located at 2573 Third St in Potrero Hill. The event goes from 6:00-9:00pm.
