Volcanoes may be known for destruction—but in the world of wine, they create something extraordinary.
Join Laurie Forster, The Wine Coach®, on April 29th at 7PM for a special Wine Down Wednesday virtual tasting exploring wines grown in volcanic soils from around the world. From the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily to the windswept vineyards of Santorini, these regions produce wines with striking minerality, vibrant acidity, and unforgettable character.
During this interactive virtual tasting, Laurie will guide you through a curated lineup of volcanic wines while sharing the fascinating stories behind these dramatic regions and the unique grape varieties that thrive there. You’ll learn how volcanic soils influence flavor, why these wines are gaining attention from sommeliers around the world, and how to spot them when you’re shopping.
Expect a relaxed evening filled with great wine, fun wine education, and plenty of Wine Coach moments as we explore wines truly born from fire.

Something to Wine About - A Comedic Wine Tasting
2026-07-10 18:30 - 20:30 | The Room at Cedar Grove, 32882 Cedar Grove Road, Lewes, DE, 19958, United States
Something to Wine About hosted by Laurie Forster, The Wine Coach®
TV personality, award-winning sommelier and comedian Laurie Forster delivers an edgy, off-beat hilarious show where wine meets punchline. Using her down to earth approach to “wine education,” Forster peels back the labels of a few of her favorite wines while she exposes some the deep secrets of the wine industry and why she thinks it’s so damn funny!
Forster leaves no stone unturned when it comes to talking about wine and why we like it. Maybe you love the full body of a Malbec or the crisp acidity of a Pinot Grigio. Who knows? Who cares? But by the end of this show three things are certain. You are confident about what you like, exhausted from laughing and completely toasted.
Tickets for the comedic wine tasting, Something to Wine About with Laurie Forster on July 10th at The Room at Cedar Grove in Lewes are $60 and on sale now at www.theroomatcedargrove.com. After the show, Laurie Forster will be available to sign copies of her book “The Sipping Point: A Crash Course in Wine.”
