Thursday Pour: Sip the Best of the Finger Lakes on Bernard Street

Escape the usual supermarket labels and discover why upstate New York is making massive waves in the wine world. On Thursday, June 18, 2026, Seaboard Wine & Tasting Bar is welcoming Cameron Mills from Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard—the premier estate that recently became the only winery on the East Coast to earn a prestigious Demeter Biodynamic certification. The night kicks off with a casual, low-key tasting of four estate wines right inside the shop.

Afterward, the party moves next door to Stellar for an exclusive three-course dinner pairing Wiemer’s top-tier bottles with custom dishes crafted by Chef Ann. If you want the ultimate local insider deal, reserve your seat for the dinner ahead of time and your entry to the initial Seaboard tasting is completely free.

📍 1914 Bernard St., Raleigh, NC 27608
📅 Thursday, June 18, 2026 | Tasting: 5 to 6:30 p.m. | Dinner: 6:30 to 8 p.m.
