Tasting Tradition: Celebrating AAPI Wine & Spirits takes over their iconic West Village shop on Saturday May 9, 2026, turning it into a crossroads of culture, craft, and flavor staring at 3:00pm. Amidst global influence & that unmistakable Manhattan energy, savor an afternoon that's intimate, elevated, and delicious.
Grab your $29 Ticket (a $40 value) that gets you 2 Hours of Tastings of Wines, Spirits & Sakes From Across the Asian Continent and Local Makers, along with A Selection of Charcuterie and Cheese from Murray's Cheese, plus a 1 Hour Panel Discussion with prominent AAPI makers.
You're invited to sip your way across the Asian continent with a curated tasting that brings together standout wines, spirits, and sakes alongside innovative local vintners, distillers and the like. Think bold pours, unexpected pairings, and stories in every glass, complemented by generous spreads of charcuterie and cheese from Murray’s.

It’s equal parts education and inspiration, wrapped in a setting that feels effortlessly cool.
The lineup will wow your taste buds. Think Mother-in-Law Kimchi serving up punchy pairings, Chinese Wine Club bringing rare finds, Mai Vino pouring modern expressions, and standout names like Nikka Japanese Whisky, Borken, Ippo, and Kato Sake, plus KHA Vietnamese Rice Wine and more.
It’s a global tasting tour in the West Village that's bound to spark some major wanderlust...
Tucked into the West Village, Le Dû Wines has long been a quiet powerhouse in New York’s wine scene. Founded in 2005 by the late Jean-Luc Le Dû (an acclaimed sommelier who helped earn Restaurant Daniel a Wine Spectator Grand Award), the shop carries the legacy of a true industry visionary, blending pedigree with downtown ease.
Built on the idea that wine should feel as inviting as it is exceptional, Le Dû Wines has spent nearly two decades curating a collection that spans the globe. From storied Bordeaux estates to refined Burgundies, cutting-edge California producers, and boundary-pushing natural winemakers across South Africa and South America, every bottle reflects a thoughtful balance of tradition and discovery.
Inside, the experience is as tailored as the selection. The team, equal parts sommeliers, educators, and enthusiasts, dishes out a distinctly personal approach, guiding guests with a mix of deep knowledge and genuine warmth. Whether you’re hunting for a collector’s gem or just the right bottle for dinner, the energy is never intimidating, just expertly dialed-in.
Carrying that same spirit forward, Le Dû Wines continues to create moments that go beyond the bottle, like its upcoming Tasting Tradition: Celebrating AAPI Wine & Spirits event. This flavor-forward soirée spotlights Asian and AAPI makers across wine, sake, and spirits, pairing global perspectives with local creativity in a way that feels culturally rich.
There will be bites by Murray's, a panel discussion, and the chance to mix & mingle with wine loving New Yorkers and insiders alike. Raise a glass and savor it all...
