Birmingham, Ala. - We are only days away from 2023 A Novel Tasting, presented by signature sponsor NUCOR. This special event takes place on Thursday, April 6, at 6:00 p.m. at the Birmingham Public Library’s downtown Central Library, 2100 Park Place.

This fun-filled evening will feature a tasting of fine wines, locally crafted beers, and distilled spirits. Guests will also enjoy live music, catered food, a silent auction, Cryptic Corks prizes, complimentary drinks, a cigar bar, 360-photo booth, and VIP reception. 

WBRC Fox 6 Reporter JehJeh Pruitt will emcee, and jazz guitarist Eric Essix will perform at the event. We have an incredible silent auction lined up for our guests.
