Bottle Rockets: Sample a dozen Pinots at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse Pinot tasting Friday, April 20


The monthly wine tastings at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse in Dallas are the best wine tastings in the city. Why? Because the certified sommelier staff at PBSH is the best in the state and because they love to share good wines with those who care about those things.

This month, those things are Pinot Noirs.

On April 20, $55++ buys you pours of 13 different Pinots, all from PBSH’s 33,000 bottle cellar. Stay for dinner, and they’ll usually knock off $25 from your bill just because they love you.

Start with me when the tasting begins at 6 pm, and we’ll both be very happy when it ends at 8 pm. No one ever leaves these tastings without feeling good. Plus, you get to meet Hatch writers Barb Werley, Jason Hisaw, Heather Green and Jason Huerta.

These things sell out fast. Better call quick to save a spot: 214-366-2000
