The Tasting Room Kauai

Aloha friends! We are throwing a little spontaneous wine tasting + education pop-up THIS FRIDAY (yes, August 21st… also my birthday) at The Tasting Room! Come hang with us anytime from 3:30–4:30pm while we taste through 8 brand-new wines with the team from Johnson Brothers. These are the bottles that we are considering for November’s new wine menu, so you get a sneak peek at what’s coming (and help us decide what makes the cut ). We will have a light charcuterie spread to nibble on while we sip and learn. Spots are limited, $40 per person. Please call 808-431-4311 to let us know if you can make it! Cheers and we will see you on Friday!

WOW DanO… can you believe it?

Eleven years ago today, February 17, 2015, we kicked off this little weekly adventure called Wow DanO as a fun way to share our love for great wine, spirits, tastings, and all things Kauai.

What started as a quirky marketing idea has turned into a beloved weekly tradition: 11 full years of pours, pairings, bloopers, last-minute holiday saves, local love, and way too many puns.

Mahalo to our amazing community for cheering us on, stopping by The Wine Shop and The Tasting Room, and making every week feel like a celebration.

Cheers to 11 years of WOW... and many more glasses (and laughs) ahead!
