Jon is heading back to his roots, with an event at the restaurant he got his start at in New Jersey: Stage Left. Stage Left and Catherine Lombardi have been staples in New Brunswick for decades, with a commitment to quality ingredients, warm hospitality, and excellent beverage programs. We will gather at 6:30pm with some welcome hors d’ouevres. At 7pm, we will sit down to a guided tasting and panel discussion with Jon and Stage Left's owners Mark and Francis. We will look at 8 wines in the tasting, including shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir and riesling, but also more unusual varieties and surprises…all from producers new to New Jersey. You won’t be disappointed!

Get ready to taste legendary wines, compete in corn hole championships, and eat tacos with Jane at Ashe's Beer Garden. Ashe's is a Knoxville institution that has recently added a beer garden to its offerings. Enjoy a night of fun at this free event! 

We are honored to be Bibliotheque's first wine event! Here's what they have to say: "For Bibliotheque's first wine event, we are extremely lucky to have author, importer, winemaker, and master sommelier Jonathan Ross lead us through a tasting and discussion of one of the most neglected yet diverse wine countries in the world. Along with his partner, Jane Lopes, Jonathan has recently published "How To Drink Australian", a lively, in-depth, and sometimes surprising exploration of the why, the how, and the where of the most exciting wine-producing country in the world today. You will have the opportunity to taste through six Australian wines, and our full food menu will be available for ordering. Additionally, we will have signed copies of "How To Drink Australian" available for purchase at a discounted rate."

Join us for a special book signing and wine education event.  Jane will be at Kansas City's Bliss Books & Wine to discuss How to Drink Australian as we sample a curated selection of Australian wines from the Legend portfolio. 

Join Jane at Peachtree Corners' Dahlia's for a tasting of (as always) some great Australian wine. Stay afterwards for dinner to try the wines paired with Dahlia's delicious food.
