At The Table: Summer Wines + Simple Bites

At The Table: Summer Wines + Simple Bites brings together seasonal wines, chef-driven small bites, and coastal summer atmosphere for an intimate tasting event on May 14 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Windie’s. Built around easy-drinking spring and summer wines, the evening focuses less on formal wine culture and more on relaxed conversation, food pairing, and discovering bottles meant for warm-weather gatherings.

The guided tasting is led by Kylie Sarosi, who will introduce guests to a curated lineup of crisp whites, rosés, and versatile reds selected for casual seasonal sipping. Alongside the wines, attendees will sample a collection of bites created by Chef Olivia Ferraro of Nana’s Westerly, pairing fresh flavors and lighter dishes with the tasting selections. Guests will also receive a discount toward purchasing featured wines after the event.

What makes the evening stand out is its intentionally approachable atmosphere. Rather than turning wine into something overly technical or intimidating, the event leans into the pleasures of sharing good food, discovering new favorites, and slowing down for a couple of hours with friends. The oceanside-inspired setting and seasonal focus give the tasting a distinctly shoreline feel that fits naturally into the rhythm of spring turning toward summer in southeastern Connecticut.
