Dino Wine-Oh

Maybe it’s time you learn to pronounce Gewürztraminer. As the quality and popularity of Washington State wines continue to grow, local oenophiles should also continue their education on the subject. Thus the third annual Dino Wine-Oh tasting event, which mixes paleontology with a presentation by sommelier Arnie Millan. As you wander the ongoing “Dinosaurs” exhibit (they’re not so terrifying now, are they?), he’ll lead you through a selection from over a dozen Northwest wineries (including Silver Lake and Sodovino). Chocolates and cheese are also part of this Science With a Twist mixer, with members of the Emerald City Soul Club providing the music. (21 and over.) IRFAN SHARIFF
