Join us as the Coral Gables Museum presents a magical evening including a wine tasting, lecture and exhibition tour of Coral Gables' Sister Cities: Partners in Peace.

The series will use the focus of wine and spirits to explore the history and civilization of our Sister Cities and to enhance our understanding and appreciation of their civic life.

The first talk in the series will focus on Granada, home of the Alhambra Palace in the heard of Andalucia is the hottest part of the country; it is also famous for its Morrish heritage, its flamenco culture and the fortified wines of Jerez.

The lecture will be presented by Patrick Alexander who has been teaching wine appreciation classes throughout Coral Gables since leaving the University of Miami.
