Old World vs New World Wine Event Review!…read more I visited Binny Geneva for one of their recent wine events. The store itself is rather large but the event space is smaller. All of the tasting tables were featured in the event space which made it hard to hear staff talk about the wine. There were a total of 4 tables which was about half the amount as other events I've gone to. This meant that most people were done sampling at the one hour mark when the event was supposed to be two hours long. Wines ranged from $10-$30 with a couple around the $50 mark. The wines were good but nothing that blew me away. I wish the event sheet listed the wine in order as we were supposed to taste as well as list the region it was from. It would have been a lot easier to follow along! The food display was one of the better ones given for variety. Overall, it's always a fun time to try wines I wouldn't normally try! Tip: Attending the event gives you a 10% off coupon on any bottle featured.

Not great menu options for a vegan, I went with the southwest salad. It was okay. I'm sure it would be better for anyone able to have the dressing. Adding meat was also an option. Overall worth the stop & will probably be back to enjoy the beers & patio.
