Wine 101 at Cellar 46 Wine Bar, Mercer Island, WA
Our last formal gathering of the year brought many WJA members together for an evening of wine and friends. Cellar 46 created an inviting atmosphere for our tasting course. The staff introduced us to wonderful wines and informed us about different varieties and regions. We learned helpful tips about wine, from how to pair the perfect wine with food to how to properly open a bottle of champagne. The social side of the evening was in full swing as well. There was plenty of time between tasting to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
