On Monday, May 5th, Frenchy’s will host its largest event ever. Ten German winemakers are coming to town to host a trade show in our shop, which will be followed up by a Grand Tasting that evening. An incredible sixty-eight wines will be poured at eleven different stations throughout the shop.

Some of the biggest names in winemaking today will be in attendance. Many of the wines being shown are not just new to North Carolina but to the entire US. Several have coveted GG status — aka the Grand Crus of Germany.

Tickets can be purchased here!

Your ticket provides you access to the Tasting from 6pm to 9pm. We will have glasses for everyone and spittoons placed throughout (remember, a Grand Tasting is a mararthon, not a sprint). Each producer will share tasting pours of their wines.
