For its annual meet-the-maker extravaganza, Burlington’s Dedalus Wine Shop, Market & Wine Bar heads next door to the AO Glass warehouse. With tasting glasses in hand, drinkers stroll from table to table, taking in wine origin stories and sips of hard-to-find vintages from an international array of visiting winemakers and importers. Lush displays of cheeses, cured meats and other pairing snacks from Great Northern chef Frank Pace provide sustenance between stops. Drink something you like? Note it on the printed buyer’s guide and order a bottle or case before you head out. Your holiday table will thank you.
