What You Need to Know About Thursday Wine Tastings at Dedalus

Dedalus, located on Pearl Street in Boulder, is a wine shop and market that strives to bring the community together one sip at a time. Specializing in wines made by small-market producers known for exceptional offerings, it’s the perfect place to discover up-and-coming favorites or take home your BBF (best bottle forever).

Whether you’ve never been to the shop or you’re a regular customer, stop by for wine tastings every Thursday from 4 PM-6 PM. Each tasting gives locals and visitors a chance to gab about grapes while sampling beloved varietals and exploring new vintages. Try wines from different regions and learn the ins and outs of a particular glass from the knowledgeable, vino-loving staff. 

Whether you’re a novice or a connoisseur, wine tastings offer several benefits, including the following:

You Discover What You Like and Dislike

Wine tastings provide the optimal opportunity to discover the varietals that you like, teaching you that you’re sweet on Riesling or prefer a dry Sauvignon Blanc. Because tastings involve small sips, they also provide a chance to discover the wines you don’t like without wasting vino (which causes wine lovers to make use of homonyms and whine). 

You Learn More About Wine

Wine is highly complicated; learning about it is not a piece of cake (or a piece of grape). While going to a tasting won’t render you an expert, it will give you a better understanding of this deep drink. The more you learn, the less intimidating it becomes.   

You Try Something New

Wine tastings aren’t new to everyone, but they’re new to many. If you’ve never raised your glass to the idea of one, you’re in for a treat. These events give you a chance to try something out of the box (and out of the house) while meeting people in the community with similar interests. Experience the magic of Merlot and cheer hurrah for a great Syrah. 

You Broaden Your Palate

When it comes to wine, it’s all about your palate. Trying different reds and whites (and everything in between) allows you to broaden your palate rather than committing yourself to Cabernets or promising Pinots that your taste buds belong to them. As you hone your palate, you’ll also become better able to detect subtle flavors and notes in sips, things like plum, sandalwood, or chocolate. 

Thursdays at Dedalus are a wonderful chance to drink in one of the luxuries of life and make a toast to a little weekday fun.
