🍷 Swirl, Sip, Repeat: $10 Wine Tasting Wednesdays + Birthday Fun at Buzzed by ZEA 🎉🍫

Wine Down Wednesday!

🗓️ Wednesday, October 15, 2025
🕔 5:00–8:00 PM (we will meet at 5:30 pm but can come earlier)
📍 Buzzed by ZEA Salon & Bar – 3707 N Halsted St, Chicago
💰 Only $10

Unwind midweek with a relaxed and fun wine tasting experience hosted by the always engaging Michael Roberts, expert sommelier and chocolatier! For just $10, you’ll enjoy generous pours of up to 4 wines from around the globe—plus the chance to purchase your favorites (most bottles under $25). 🍷🍫

🎉 Birthday Twist: We’ll meet on this Wednesday night for some wine & celebrate my birthday! 🎈 My official birthday is October 22, 2025, but I love celebrating all month long with my friends & meetup family. 🥳 Come join me — the real reason? To drink wine, eat cheese & chocolates, and hang with Michael! 🍷🧀🍫

✨ Highlights:

• Casual, walk-around format—perfect for after work
• No food pairings, but chocolates are for sale 🍫
• Several lite bites/charcuteries available for purchase 🍴
• All wines 🛍️ are available for purchase at discounted prices
• Great way to sample new wines and discover hidden gems
• Ideal for both newbies and wine nerds alike—Michael keeps it fun and informative!
• 🥂 Stay afterward if you’d like to grab a bite nearby—there are plenty of great options

🍽️ Buzzed by ZEA doesn’t serve food, but we’ll grab dinner nearby afterward for anyone interested.

💬 If you love Michael’s Wine Classes but can’t always make the big month-end sessions, this is your chance to experience his magic in a more casual, weekly Wednesday night setting—still fun, still informative, but more low-key. No food pairings, just great wine and great company!

🚫 No wine snobs here! Michael keeps things educational, approachable, and super enjoyable for all levels
