The Triangle Chapter of the American Wine Society Presents
Hidden Wine Gems from Lesser-Known Wineries
Join us on Sunday, January 18, 2026
3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
At Total Wine & More, 6105
Capital Blvd, Raleigh
Presenter: Theresa Thiel

If you’re a wine lover looking to explore lesser known wines that can satisfy your palate, you may find more wines to your liking at this tasting. These hidden gems are perfect for those who want to try something new without moving up a tier in price. So in January, we are going to present wines from six international regions that are well regarded but “under the radar” with respect to more popular or better known brands. We hope you will join us in this exploration and hopefully encourage you to go beyond the status quo.
Please register by Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
