Wine Traditions Portfolio Tasting

See all the wines on tasting (with special prices) here!

Through their Wine Traditions Imports company in Falls Church, Ed Addiss and Barbara Selig import some of the most exciting and delicious French wine values we know.  Here’s your chance to get to know the astonishing range of traditional and well off the beaten path gems Ed and Barbara bring to us here in the DMV.  Join us from 1-4pm on Sunday, October 8 to sample 15 Wine Traditions wines from fine Champagne to refreshing reds and whites to one of the most delicious dessert wines we’ve ever tasted (although you’ll want to drink it much more often than just with dessert!).

All together the 15 wines on tasting will provide a great introduction to the philosophy and hard work of Ed, Barbara and their whole team. As they've written, "We champion appellations that receive too little acclaim and have sought out vignerons and vignornnes whose deep respect and commitment toward their land result in wines that convey a sense of place. We seek wines that balance intensity with delicacy and are wines of good character rather than caricatures of good wine. We hope these wines will bring you pleasure."
