In just three short weeks, our exciting, annual wine and restaurant tasting event, Toast of the Town, will hit San Francisco (March 26th), followed by Atlanta (April 16th), Chicago (April 30th) and New York (June 15th).

We realize this year it may be tough to indulge in a night such as Toast of the Town, so let us offer you 10 reasons why it’s worth every penny:

10) The Early Bird Discount. Though Toast of the Town sells out every year, this year we are offering an exclusive discount to early buyers. Secure your tickets now and take $20 off the cost of a grand ticket and $25 off the cost of a VIP. We like to reward the early birds.

9) 500 Wines. Rather than splurging on one bottle of wine at a restaurant with a high markup, you’ll be free to experience hundreds of unique tastes in one room.

8)  30 Restaurants.  Rather than having one nice dinner out, Toast of the Town is a chance to enjoy the best that the top restaurants in each city have to offer. Think of it as 10+ fantastic meals out.

7) Cultural Venues. With locations like the Field Museum in Chicago and the Georgia Aquarium, you’ll get an educational, enlightening experience included in the cost of the ticket. Toast of the Town is always at an exciting locale, not in a hotel ballroom.

6) Proceeds For the Silent Auction Go to Charity. We are allocating proceeds to America’s Second Harvest, so you can feel good that the money for your fabulous night on the town is going to a good cause.

5) Live Jazz. Expect to be serenaded by cool jazz music while you sip and savor, no matter which city you choose.

4) Minced Roast Duck in Lettuce Parcels, Porcini Mushroom Tarts with Truffle Aioli, Proscuitto-Wrapped Escargot, Seared Ahi Tuna with Wasabi Cream. Did I mention the food?

3) Brunello di Montalcino, Mount Veeder Cabernet, Icewine, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Chianti Classico, Rioja Reserva, Russian River Pinot Noir, and more. Did I mention the wine?

2)    You could be famous. We often highlight photos of past events on WineEnthusiast.com, Flickr and Facebook.

1)    You Deserve It.  Every once in awhile we all deserve to kick-back and enjoy a special evening like Toast of the Town with friends and loved ones. If a vacation isn’t in the plans for this year, treat yourself to a smaller indulgence.
