Wine Tasting at Déco Restaurant & Bar

Déco Restaurant & Bar and The Local: Wine & Beer are teaming up to present a celebration of local natural wine and the new release of Vermont’s first Georgian-inspired qvevri wine! Join us at Déco Restaurant & Bar, located within Hostel Tevere, to sample amazing wines from four local producers in Vermont and Québec, obscure European dessert wines and world renowned Belgian lambics. Two producers will be pouring their art in a bottle: David Keck, Master Sommelier and Owner/Winemaker at Stella 14 Wines, and Max Rose, Owner/Winemaker at Chertok Wines. Phil Christian, Fine Wine Specialist from our friends at 802 Distributors, will be pouring four bottles from Pinard et Filles, located just a short drive north of the Vermont Border in Québec, from an oxidative style white blend to riesling, and a unique and experimental white and red blend. These wines are highly sought after throughout Québec and are featured on the wine list at Montréal’s Pullman Wine Bar. Here in Vermont, they are exclusively poured here at Déco. We will take you on a journey of the Belgian lambic, a unique wine-like style of beer, one that’s of interest to beer and wine enthusiasts a like. We will cap the night off with a specially selected 2003 vintage Barsac dessert wine alongside two other European dessert wines and one doppelbock showstopper with an interesting story to tell, that drinks like vinho do porto!

Carefully curated hyper-local charcuterie boards and several specific dessert pairings will be available throughout the tasting. We will feature the full array of cheeses from von Trapp Farmstead and the entire cured meat selections from Babette’s Table. Mix, mingle and taste wine together with Rachel, Erica and Julie from von Trapp Farmstead and Babette’s Table. One ounce pours will be offered of each of the following:
