We hope you'll join us for the inaugural Small Poppies trade tasting! Small Poppies is a group of four importers who work with wines from lesser-known (and less appreciated) wine regions: Culture Wine Co (South Africa), Danch & Granger Selections (Central & Eastern Europe), Legend Imports (Australia), Tupetz Wine Connection (Germany). ​At our inaugural tasting, we'll be welcoming trade from 3:30-5pm and the public from 5-7pm. Each importer is showing 5 wines, a distilled and focused look at some of the most important styles and regions in our respective focus areas. Walk-ins are welcome and RSVPs are appreciated. $50 for the public (please reach out to Bay Grape!) and free for the trade before 5pm (please RSVP with link). Prost! Gesondheid! Na Zdravje! Cheers, mate!

Join us for an intimate wine dinner hosted by Jon and our friends at Little Betty in Birmingham, featuring standout selections from Legend. Explore the vibrant, expressive world of contemporary Australian wine through a thoughtful five-course meal and guided storytelling. Each course has been lovingly crafted by Executive Chef Kyle Biddy and will be matched with wines that reflect the diversity and elegance of Australia's top producers.
