Someday I’d like to be a wine snob, but the truth is, I have a long way to go before I know that much about wines. So for now my goal is to taste different wines, learn the subtle differences between them, and figure out what I like and what might be good to serve to friends.
One place to learn more about wine is at
Harrison’s Wine Grill & Catering, the restaurant at the Hilton Gardens along East College Avenue (Route 26). Every Wednesday night between 6 and 7 p.m., Harrison’s holds a wine tasting of four different wines, as well as the opportunity to mingle with other wine lovers and to learn more about wines with the restaurant’s wine director and other experts. Harrison’s also has Wine Flights: you get to choose 4 wines from Harrison’s selection and create your own personal tasting. There are also wine happy hours every weekday from 5 to 6 p.m. I’ve also been to several events where Harrison’s provided the catering and the wine selection. I find myself taking notes on the different wines I’ve tried at these events so I can try them again at home.
