Sip Something New at Open That Bottle Night Fri, Apr 04, 25 Sip Something New at Open That Bottle Night Written by Michael Bray, April 21 2022 Open That Bottle Night was created in 1999 by Wall Street Journal columnists and married couple Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher. OTBN occurs annually on the last Saturday of February (a point in the winter when we can all use something to look forward to!), and the intention of the celebration is to encourage us to open the bottles we may have been stowing away for a special occasion. David Setley, PV wine educator and in-house sommelier, hosted the first Passion Vines Open That Bottle Night in February. It was so much fun, we’re doing it again on May 10! We’ve adapted the OTBN concept into a unique bottle-sharing event at our Somers Point bar. Click here to read the full article at Shore Local Newsmagazine. Learn more and register for the event here. What I’m Drinking Now: Scholium Project Michael Faraday Chardonnay 2015 This 100% Chardonnay from Sonoma, California was produced using spontaneous fermentation. It was aged in a combination of barrels that offer a balanced oak presence. The resulting wine is ripe with a firm backbone of acidity and unique nutty, sherry-like notes. This is a must-try for anyone curious about natural wine! By Brittany Lane
