VIN12, the popular host of monthly wine gatherings, celebrates its third year of vino-fueled get-togethers with the Spring Sparkling Wine Event. More than 400 patrons are expected to show up for the opportunity to wend their way through the venue and contemplate more than 40 brews from an eclectic mix of wineries such as Think Tank, Fat Grape, and Grand Amis. Although the event focuses on sparkling wine, other options such as pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, and bordeaux abound. Photographer Bryon Malik mingles with the crowd, searching for the world's most photogenic wine as guests enjoy unlimited samples and nab inexpensive gourmet snacks crafted by Porteno Empanadas.
