For the month of October, The Music Hall is partnering with our wine distributors, M.S. Walker, Crush Distributors, and Vinilandia, for curated tastings based on wines featured in the McKeon’s Bar and beyond. Join Music Hall donor, Board Trustee, and certified sommelier Jude Blake as she hosts an evening of wine tastings with each selected distributor, all in celebration of the Come Over October national campaign.

MORE ABOUT “COME OVER OCTOBER” AT THE MEMBERS CLUB
“Come Over October” encourages friends, family, and colleagues to “come over” to The Music Hall Members Club during the month of October to share wine and celebrate friendship and in-person connection. This national campaign, created by wine journalist Karen MacNeil—and public relations and communications veterans Gino Colangelo and Kimberly Noelle Charles, shares the belief that through the simple act of sharing wine, we share other things that matter— generosity, caring, and a belief that being together is an essential part of human happiness.
