Late Light is a series of small, guided wine nights in Murfreesboro. I’m Zachary Rethorn, a Certified Specialist of Wine, and I’ll guide us through each evening.

Each night starts with a theme and a handful of bottles - sometimes classic, sometimes unexpected. I’ll give you enough context to taste with confidence: what we’re drinking, why it’s interesting, and what you might pay attention to.

There’s no test, and no right answer you’re supposed to find.

The point is to notice what you enjoy, what you don’t, and why. But the wine is only part of the evening.

Late Light is also an excuse to put people around the same table who might not otherwise meet. Friends from different seasons of life. Neighbors. Colleagues. People we’ve wanted to know better. Add something good to eat, a reason to dress up a little, and enough time not to rush anywhere.

The wine gets us to the table. The people make the evening.
