Austria and German wine tasting at Cafe Maxx

I don't need an app that tells me how many calories that I have burned.  I need an app that tells me how many wine glasses I have earned.

These tastings at the Cafe Maxx for $35 are the best value of any event that we do. You get to try 8 different wines at the same time, pre-poured so they have a chance to open up and so you can go back through the line-up to get a second and third look at everything. This is how you learn about wine and with master chef Oliver Saucy sending out a few small courses to accompany the wines, you get a taste of Cafe Maxx and an education in wine all at the same time. A great way to spend happy hour.

Tonight we will feature wines from two of the worlds best white wine producing countries with great whites like Rielsing, Gruner Veltliner and a few reds like Pinot Noir and Blaufrankisch.   This is a pre-poured sit down tasting and is limited to 25 tasters, the fee for this tasting is $35 + Gratuity + tax for reservations call 954-523-9463.
