$9500 $11000

This special event bundle includes:

  • A copy of The World Atlas of Wine (9th Edition) at the ticket-holder price of $60 (normally $75)
  • Admission to our Six Cloves Wines tasting in the wine bar, 5 – 7 p.m., with winemaker Sonoe Hirabayashi

Just want the ticket? Get it here for $35. Just want the book? Get it here for $75.

We are delighted to host Jancis Robinson, legendary wine writer, critic, and educator for a talk, book signing, and tasting.

What: The new and expanded 9th Edition of The World Atlas of Wine, by Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson, and Julia Harding
When: Wednesday, October 7 from 4 to 6 p.m.
Where: Flatiron Wines & Spirits, 2 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA
Cost: Tasting is $35, the Atlas is $75, or $60 when purchased with a ticket to the tasting.

Jancis has given us some of the best English-language wine writing of the last few decades on her website (jancisrobinson.com), as the wine columnist at the Financial Times, and in indispensable books including "Wine Grapes" and "The Oxford Companion to Wine."

But no wine book gets pulled off the shelf more often at Flatiron than The World Atlas of Wine. And the new 9th Edition is an essential update, with 18 new maps covering favorite Flatiron regions like the Côte des Bar, Valtellina, and Chianti Classico's UGAs.

We can't wait to open some of our favorite wines with Jancis. She'll share thoughts on the Atlas and the wine world at large, talk about the wines, and answer questions.

Your ticket also includes our tasting with Six Cloves Wines in the wine bar, running from 5 to 7 p.m. Winemaker Sonoe Hirabayashi will be there with her wines. Born in Nagano to a family of sake, soy, and miso makers, she trained at UC Davis and learned under Ted Lemon (Littorai), Steve Matthiasson (Matthiasson), and Dard & Ribo in the Northern Rhône, and it shows: these are wines built for elegance and transparency rather than power. Kindred spirits with the sensibility Jancis has championed for decades, and a rare chance to taste them with the person who made them. No second ticket, no upcharge.

We hope you can join us for this exceptional event on Wednesday, October 7 from 4 to 6 p.m. Seating is limited. This bundle includes your ticket and a copy of the Atlas at the $60 ticket-holder price, so there's nothing more to buy that night.

Cancellations can be processed for a refund with at least 48 hours notice before the start of the event.
