This tasting really needs no introduction. Our customers know how seriously we take this region, and as a result, we get some of the most prized champagnes in the state. Join us as we open 8 of our current release bottles that just came into our market, and get first dibs on our secret collections that won’t ever hit the retail wall.

Though Le Midi focuses mainly on wines from Europe, we are also equally dedicated to bringing in wines from many other countries from around the world. We have a love affair with many of these countries that rest in the southern hemisphere and spend countless hours sourcing some of the most incredible producers that can give Europe a run for its money.

Join us tonight as we explore wines from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. We will show you why we we find these wine regions so exciting while you sip on wines from some of the most talented and fascinating winemakers in the world!

Clinging to the vast Loire river, the Loire Valley wine region traverses multiple different climates, terrains, and soil types running from the Atlantic ocean to deep within France’s interior. It can be mind-boggling trying to narrow down Loire wines to just a few examples, but we are up for that challenge and hope you are too.

Tonight we will be tasting 8 wines that all touch a unique part of this mighty region, and we will delve deeper into why these wines are so unique to their different pockets of the Loire. This is going to be an incredible night filled with getting to taste some of the best wines from some of the most sought-after producers, so this is not one you’ll want to miss!

As many of you know, we source the best of the best when it comes to high-quality wine producers for our customers. If you are spending $20 or $200, we guarantee that the bottle will be incredible. Finding great wine also doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune, so tonight you get to decide which wines cost which price without having any information beforehand. We think you will be pleasantly surprised with what gems you find!

Come join us for a laid back night of Champagne revelry as we showcase 4 different champagnes from the RM producer Champagne Marx-Coutelas & Fils!

What better time to get ahead of the New Year’s Eve shenanigans than with a Champagne tasting! And not just any Champagne - one of the darlings of the region and a favorite in the hearts of Champagne lovers around the world.

Le Midi was very lucky to be able to get its hands on just a few of these highly allocated bottles that we feel we’d be remiss to not have our customers have the opportunity to try. Sadly there are not many of these bottles out there so the post-tasting purchasing option will be very limited but you can at least now go through life saying you got to try six of R. Pouillon’s best bottles side by side!

As many of you already know, we have a special weekly off-menu wine series where we open bottles that aren’t your everyday quaffers and offer them to our guests by the glass. We definitely believe in waiting for that special occasion to open that rare bottle, but sometimes just living life should be a celebration in of itself, and as a result, we have to remember just open those bottles and enjoy them!

In honor of #YOLO pours, we are reaching into some of our most prized bottles to open and celebrate the fact that we are here on Earth together and that is all the excuse we need! Come join in what is going to be a one-of-a-kind tasting guaranteed to wow anyone who gets to experience these unicorn wines.

Riesling may have gotten its start in Germany and Austria, but this noble varietal has made its mark all over the world exhibiting multiple nuances that each country imparts onto it. This is a grape that has seduced wine-lovers for hundreds of years and there’s no better place to see why than at Le Midi.

Join us for a night exploring Rieslings from Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia to see how this incredible grape translates the terroir of these various countries, and learn why Riesling has remained one of the darlings of white wines for centuries!

If you have not watched the 90’s UK sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, then you are missing out! This hit show is filled with multiple seasons of two outrageously lavish British friends painting the town red with all of their shenanigans including drinking all of the French wines available.

Join us tonight as we open some stellar French wines from all around the country: Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, etc, all while Patsy and Edina join us on the silver screen! Even if you haven’t seen the show before, you won’t want to miss out on these gems we’ll be opening. This is sure to be a night full of laughter alongside some incredible French bottles.

What better way to ring in the month of pink wines than after the release of pink-lacquered movie world of Barbie? If an existence inundated in pink is good enough for her, then it is good for Le Midi!

We all love rosé season when the temperature spikes, and it seems like this will be the month to bring out all of the rosé ammunition we have as the heat waves continue doing their thing. Join us for a night of our favorite pink wines from around the world!

(Feel free to come donned in your finest pink attire, if you so desire.)
