About Wine Sense: "In January of 2015, I wanted to have a different conversation about wine. Enjoying food and wine with interesting, engaging people can be one of the most enjoyable ways to spend an evening (or a Summer afternoon) yet, wine tastings and wine dinners are often completely one-sided affairs. With a nod to the 19th Century Parisian and Viennese salons, I created Wine Sense. There is wine and there is dinner, but it is not a wine dinner. It is a conversation, built around a predetermined topic; it is a biweekly dinner party to make strangers learn to become friends. It is an experiment in community that keeps all the best bits - wine, stories, good food, science, friendship, history, spontaneity. ...and it is a success" - Jeffrey Wooddy, General Manager of Rochambeau Wines & Liquors and creator of Wine Sense 7 p.m. every other Thursday at Saint George Bistro 155 Southside Avenue Hastings on Hudson.
