the franklin WINE BAR & BISTRO

448 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

For this Sip School, we are headed to Brooklyn to partner with The Franklin, a Clinton Hill gem known for great wine, awesome energy, and absolutely zero stuffiness. Their thoughtfully curated list spans Europe and the U.S., featuring expressive, food-friendly bottles alongside wines on tap and one of the neighborhood’s best happy hours. It’s the perfect place for tasting, guessing, debating, and discovering — AKA peak Sip School vibes.

LE Dû'S WINEs

600 Washington St, New York, NY 10014

For our second Sip School @ Le Dû , we’re doubling down on discovery: rare bottles crafted by women winemakers, each rooted in sustainable farming and responsible winemaking. Women in wine aren’t just part of the story—they’re the headline. And this series is all about spotlighting their brilliance.

Bananas

174 1st Ave New York, NY 10009

Join No Wine Left Behind for Sip School at Bananas in the East Village — a playful, vibey spot serving Asian American comfort food in a space that doesn’t take itself too seriously (banana art everywhere, once you start noticing).

You’ll start with a welcome drink and taste three wines poured blind — natural, Eastern European, and intentionally unfamiliar. Then it’s game time: a multiple‑choice blind tasting where you guess the grape, flavor notes, and region, alongside the rest of the room.

Cantine Panella

515 Rue Saint-Zotique E, Montreal QC H2S 1M2

No Wine Left Behind brings Sip School to Montréal with a playful blind wine tasting night at Cantine Panella, featuring @glutenfreeglobetrotter.

Part tasting, part trivia, part friendly competition—Sip School is all about trusting your palate, laughing a little, and enjoying great wine without pressure.

Hosted in Cantine Panella’s 100% gluten-free kitchen, with special one-off dishes available for the night, this is a relaxed wine experience where everyone can actually enjoy the moment.

Women in Wine Festival

600 Washington Street, New York, NY 10014

Meet producers flying in from around the world, taste and vote on standout wines, and help decide which bottle earns permanent shelf placement at Le Du’s. Expect masterclasses, exclusive pours, and a high-energy, consumer-driven wine experience.

Chito Gvrito

173 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10003

Join No Wine Left Behind as we bring Sip School to Chito Gvrito, the beloved woman‑owned Georgian restaurant in Gramercy, for an afternoon that blends wine, culture, and serious hospitality.

This special edition features Ruso Chochishvili of Kapistoni Winery — a seventh‑generation Georgian winemaker whose family has been crafting wine for over two centuries. 

Ruso will be co‑hosting the tasting in person, guiding you through a flight of three indigenous‑grape Georgian wines, each made in the traditional qvevri method.
