Here are five such unique collaborations presenting a diverse range of enchanting experiences.

The school, located within the cozy confines of Knifebirdโs inviting wine bar, hosts monthly classes presenting a guided tasting of six splendid wines. Themes differ each class, ranging from ‘Aromatics, Aesthetics & Style in Wine Making’ to ‘Rom-Com Rosรฉs’ to ‘White Wines Worldwide’. Their aim? To bring together casual wine drinkers and advanced enthusiasts for a unique, sociable, and educational experience.
Further enhancing the wine tasting, the neighboring restaurant JEM complements their chef-driven menu with an elegant, Rootstock-curated wine list. This delightful partnership has added a touch of refinement to the Memphis food and wine scene.
