"Sure, you could say they’re more about education, but that doesn’t mean a tasting can’t make for a bucolic afternoon with friends and some koji-cured roast chicken with a crunchy bread salad and, yes, great wine. That’s the vibe at the Palm Springs–esque, architecturally stunning Ashes & Diamonds. Like a great bar, this place will show you a world you might not have known about, and also make it fun."
