THE MAGIC
If you've ever been to Italy or France, you have experienced the magical feeling that washes over you as you enter their shores. The people, food, culture, nightlife, beaches and WINE of these two countries are unrivaled.

THE DRAMATIC SETTING
We are thrilled to return the Uncorked community to the historic, beautiful and recently renovated General's Residence in Fort Mason. This site of dozens of memorable tastings provides the perfect backdrop for these wines of distinct history and quality.

This stunning venue is conveniently located on the border between the Marina, Cow Hollow and Russian Hill and a perfect backdrop to end to a days work with over 125 of the best wines from France and Italy.

THE SHOWDOWN
With so many wines to try, you'll get a pretty good sense for who you think has won this battle. And remember, in a showdown, there are no ties, you must pick a winner. 

THE EXTRAS
A wide array of artisanal cheeses, olives and cured meats from A.G. Ferrari will perfectly complement the wines, while DJ Sol will be spinning French and Italian pop, rock, jazz and lounge grooves all night.

THE VIP OPTION
This year we’re adding a VIP preview entry option to enter a full hour before the main event at 5:30pm with exclusive access to rare library and extremely limited production reserve wines at each table.
