The Confluence of Wine, Spirits, Poetry, and History

Wine Poetic is an exploration of blurred lines and blended worlds—where poetry, history, and ancestral libations meet in a dance of spirit and story. From wine to spirits and everything that stirs in between, Wine Poetic invites you into an immersive experience: part symposium, part workshop, part poetic toast to the senses.

Designed as a space for both craft and curiosity, it’s a place to hone your writing, deepen your palate, exchange ideas, and uncover the shared histories behind the glass and the page. Whether you come to sip, to speak, to write—or simply to wonder—we welcome your presence and your questions. Participation is fluid, just like the wine: come as you are, engage as you please, and above all—enjoy.

This series was created in the summer of 2023 by poet, educator, and COO of PSNY, Jackie Braje, and writer, experience designer, and rogue sommelier, Darby Wagner, of GNOSES.

Beginning in 2025, all ticket holders agree to opting-in to the *wine tasting component of this class. This is a decision we've made to improve the cohesiveness of this program and create a more immersive experience on a collective level. Our resident partner, **Anaïs, will collect payment for the tasting (between $16-20 + gratuity) upon arrival. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. P.S. Be sure to look out for an email the night before the workshop where the featured wines/beverages will be unveiled !

*NA options available upon request.

**If the workshop is hosted by another venue, specific details around the tasting will be written on the Eventbrite page so please read carefully before purchasing your ticket!
