Friday the 13th: Tarot & Wine with The Reluctant Somm
February, Friday the 13th happens to land right before Valentine's Day. We’re leaning into the former.
At The Reluctant Somm, our drive is to curate unique experiences that make wine accessible and engaging without the usual pretense. We believe tasting events should be memorable nights out, not stiff lectures.
For this event, we are partnering with Trevino Wine Bar in Mission Bay to host a unique evening of curated wine and intuitive insight. The TRS team has taken over the wine list for the night, designing a specific flight that mirrors archetypes found in the Tarot deck. We are also bringing in resident reader Vanessa to offer insights throughout the evening.
Join us on Friday, February 13th from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Trevino’s space to drink incredible wine, explore the cards, and connect with the community.
The Curated Flight The TRS team has selected four distinct wines tailored to match specific Tarot energies:
