Whether you’re a ride or die fan of In N Out or uncontrollably addicted to The Habit, we’ll let you battle it out to see which is your favorite!!! At this competitive tasting format, we focus on indulging the guilty pleasure of pairing wine with your favorite southern California Cheeseburger. You no longer have to hide your glass of wine under your seat as you take that first bite!
Not only will you be able to pick your favorite burger but we will sample up to 21 different wines!!! Served 3 blind wines at a time - which is the Cabernet? Which is the Merlot? Which is the Syrah? And which wine wines each flight???
Celebrating our 30th Anniversary - Look for Learnaboutwine to stay FRESH AND CURRENT - and continue to be an industry leader in adult education and entertainment. LearnAboutWine invented this competitive approach long ago and we have explored the cheeseburger landscape... This will be our first time using THE HABIT up against the all time champ "IN-N-OUT" ... but there are so many good options.
