About this tasting
National Drink Wine Day at EJ's Tuesday, February 18th | 3 PM – 10 PM
Wine has its own holiday, and honestly, it's earned it.
National Drink Wine Day falls on February 18th, and we're celebrating the only way we know how — by pouring glasses of wine from around the world at $3 off all day long.
Whether you're a devoted red drinker, a white wine loyalist, or someone who just wants to try something new without overthinking it, this is your day. We've got over 150 bottles from regions across Europe and beyond, and a rotating selection available by the glass that's built for exploring.
A little history for the curious: wine has been around for over 8,000 years, starting with ancient winemakers in what is now the country of Georgia who fermented grapes in giant clay vessels buried underground. That method is still used today. So when you raise a glass on February 18th, you're participating in one of humanity's longest-running traditions. No pressure.
Stop in, grab a glass (or a few), and toast to 8,000 years of good decisions.
The Details:
- When: Tuesday, February 18th, 3 PM – 10 PM
- Where: EJ's Wine Shop, Historic Millwork District, Dubuque
- The Deal: $3 off all wine by the glass, all day
No tickets needed. No reservations. Just show up and drink wine. It's literally the name of the holiday.
