Bree Stock Wine Night

Bar Toti is handing over its wine list to Bree Stock on Thursday, August 27, for a one-night takeover. Stock is an Australian-born Master of Wine, and for this particular evening, she's curating a featured list of limited edition wines to pour throughout the night. It's a wine takeover in the most literal sense: she's the one picking the bottles, and they're the focus of the evening.

If you're not familiar with the Master of Wine title, it's one of the highest certifications in the world for wine study, and Stock brings that background to the table here. The list she's putting together is built around limited edition wines, so these aren't the bottles you'll find on every wine list in town. It's a good excuse to try something you wouldn't normally seek out on your own, especially with someone who knows the subject inside and out behind the bar.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a takeover, not a total replacement. Bar Toti's full food and beverage menu will still be running alongside the featured list, so you can pair whatever you're drinking with a full meal or just stick to a few glasses and some snacks. Whether you're there for the wine or just for a drink and a bite, the regular menu is still on the table.

It runs from 5 PM to 10 PM on Thursday, August 27, at Bar Toti, 2113 Manor Rd. in Austin East. If you're looking for a spot to start your evening with a few glasses of something you won't find everywhere else, this is a solid place to do it.
