DAYTON — The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, 2600 DeWeese Parkway, will host the second annual The Science of Wine from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24.
The event will showcase 17 wines at seven tasting and learning stations that will pair the wines with food. Wine discussion topics will include soil composition, irrigation, bottle-aging, stemware, and labeling regulations. Wine selections will come from E&J Gallo Vineyards and the wine company's more than 300 vineyards around the world.
Gallo will present two lectures as part of the ticket price with Marc Ruchti, a certified wine educator, discussing sustainability practices in the wine industry and giving overviews of the wines chosen as guests' favorites.
Complimentary valet parking, full open bars, laser shows, performances by the Dayton Opera, and access to the museum's exhibits are included in admission. An eighth wine-tasting VIP room will also be available for additional cost. Tickets are $75, or $100 for access to the VIP tasting room.
Proceeds will benefit the Boonshoft Museum's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs.
Reservations are encouraged. For more information or to reserve tickets, call (937) 275-7431, ext. 136 or 146, or order online at www.BoonshoftMuseum.org.
