When these five wine-loving women get together every Wednesday night, they're theoretically meeting for a book club or a yoga class, but really, they just want to indulge in wine and talk about their lives. It's like Sex and the City meets the vineyard - including a friendly wine steward to guide the audience through the wine paired with each upcoming scene. Get ready for an intoxicating blend of friendship, wit, and wine that will leave your spirits lifted and your palate inspired.

With every scene paired with a wine tasting for the audience,  Winesday the Wine Tasting Musical  is Off-Broadway at its winest.
