Today, Wednesday, December 28, you can start prepping for your New Year’s celebrations with a bubbly wine and blini tasting, or just enjoy the cheap tastes.
Blinis, the small thin Russian pancakes similar to crepes but made with yeasted butter, are usually eaten topped with butter, honey, jam, sour cream or caviar. They’re traditionally eaten to start the New Year with good luck.
The Whole Foods in Vienna will be serving up tastings of bubbly wine and blinis with resident sommelier John Story from 6:30-8 p.m. for $5 per person.
Whole Foods is located at 143 Maple Ave. in Vienna (703-319-2000). For more information go here.
