ST. HELENA, Calif., July 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Helena's ACME Fine Wines, recently named one of Wine Enthusiast's 50 Best Wine Retailers in America, announced that the boutique wine retailer will be open for private tastings. Proprietor Karen Williams and her sommelier team are looking forward to welcoming visitors and locals for the new in-person tastings, which are a terrific way for guests to expand their palate and wine knowledge, experience debut wines from superstar winemakers and learn first-hand the types of wines that ACME's wine clubs offer.
Cult v. IPO Tasting
ACME is well known for helping to launch and promote micro-wineries and brands that achieve fame down the road. Internally dubbed "IPO" brands, these are debut projects carefully chosen by ACME's dynamic team of sommeliers who are constantly scouting to bring the next big thing to their clients. This tasting features two cult wines (think brands like Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle and Scarecrow) alongside two soon-to-be-discovered IPO wines.
$500 per person, 90 to 120 minutes, four wines, exclusively for groups of four people. The Cult v. IPO Tasting is inclusive of charcuterie and cheese platter to enjoy alongside.
