First Fridays at the new Wine School of Philadelphia
We here at Meal Ticket may never be able to recline like F. Scott Fitzgerald characters along the polished balustrades and leather chaises of our own Rittenhouse mansions, but at least we can pretend at First Friday at the Wine School.
First Fridays at the new Wine School of Philadelphia
We here at Meal Ticket may never be able to recline like F. Scott Fitzgerald characters along the polished balustrades and leather chaises of our own Rittenhouse mansions, but at least we can pretend at First Friday at the Wine School. "Starting this week, we’re swinging open our doors to a different type of wine education," says president and founder of the Wine School of Philadelphia, Keith Wallace, who recently relocated the grape academy from Fairmount to a Victorian manor on 22nd and Sansom.
Each week, Wallace and his team selects half a dozen thematic wines, beers or spirits. Tomorrow, from 6 to 10 p.m., they’re showcasing their favorite summer wines. "We don’t select them until the day of," says Wallace. "I like keeping that spontaneous and centered around what we really want to be drinking ourselves — which makes it much more fun."
Thirty bucks covers entrance, light education and vino. "There isn't a set limit, which can be a bit tricky, but after about three glasses we turn off the tap, so to speak," Wallace explains. "Basically, we keep an eye out for overconsumption, but as long as folks are chill, enjoying the vibe, then there isn't an issue."
