Going to be in Manhattan this Thursday? We’ve got the dish on a cool, casual wine event located in the heart of the city that’s absolutely free. Find the perfect pour paired with succulent gourmet tapas, and kick your evening off right.
Banfi Wine Tasting Event
Head to the Crowne Plaza Times Square on Broadway this Thursday, December 10, for the exclusive Banfi Wine Tasting Event. A Wine and Dine representative from Tuscany’s family-owned Castello Banfi will be on hand with six incredible wines paired expertly with soulful dishes cooked on-site by Crowne Plaza’s popular Brasserie 1605.

I understand they play it light and loose, calling it a “self-tasting”. That means you’re free to meander from station to station at your pace, savoring every last loving sip. You could say the event is free in more ways than one.
Featured wines include:
Brunello di Montalcino (red)
Centine (red)
Chianti Classico Riserva (red)
Gavia Gavi (red)
Summus (white)
Rosa Regal (sparkling red)
Learn more about these wines and the Castello Banfi philosophy here.
The Banfi Wine Tasting Event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Times Square lounge, Broadway 49, on Thursday, December 10 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. For questions and RSVP (preferred, but not required), contact manager Lauren Roth at lauren.roth(at)ihg.com, or visit the Web site.
Svedka Vodka Event
Happened to notice the Crowne Plaza Times Square is also hosting a vodka tasting and pairing event just a week later featuring Svedka Vodka. I don’t know any more than the Web site has to tell, but this seemed a cool follow-up to the more, say, common wine tasting.
The Svedka Vodka Tasting Event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Time Square lounge, Broadway 49, on December 16 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. like the Banfi event, it’s completely free. Learn more.
So I just planned your Thursday night for you. That was awful nice of me.
Have fun!
