Enjoy some wine and music
Traditional cheese-and-wine pairings are way too outdated for Black Elephant Vintners . They offer something far more rebellious: join for a sparkling-wine or wine tasting, pop on some headphones and prepare to be blown into a land of heightened senses at this punk-rock cellar.
This novel approach to enhance the experience of the wine tasting process by utilizing not only the senses of taste, touch, smell, and sight is what distinguishes Black Elephant Vintners from the others
