Thirsty Thursday at bayleaf

Beth Kuchynka • August 3, 2017

welcome!

Are you Thirsty for something new to do during the week? Thirsty to meet new people or learn more about wine? Or, are you just plain ole’ Thirsty? bayleaf on Whidbey Island has the solution for all of these…and more.

Join us for Thirsty Thursday wine flights every Thursday from 5-7 p.m.

Weekly wine choices range from exceptional selections courtesy of visiting vintners to our latest exciting and fun finds. Though friendly conversation often prevails, tasting notes and informative discussions are always available. Choose from three whites (sometimes there will be a rose involved) or three reds, or even both if you are extra Thirsty. Flights range in price depending on the pours. Nicely paired, light but lovely noshes are $5.

The atmosphere is casual and friendly. Seating is first come, first served – no RSVP or reservations needed. Come by yourself or bring a friend (or few). Weather permitting, sip on the patio overlooking the waters of Penn Cove.

Wine Club Members! Don’t forget about your free Thirsty Thursday night. Stay tuned to your email for the exact date each month. ( What?! Not a wine club member? Did you know bayleaf has four - yes four - different wine clubs ranging from $29 to $50 a month? Two bottles of wine each month, discounts on bayleaf events, AND a free Thirsty Thursday tasting…why aren’t you in a wine club? Join online or in the store!)

Trusted, tried and true pantry staple

By Beth Kuchynka • May 30, 2025
Olive oil has been part of Mediterranean life for thousands of years. It's more than a cooking fat—it's culture, health, and history in a bottle. As Americans we've been a bit slow to catch on...

Such a fan favorite.

Fall Wine Tasting Extravaganza

By Beth Kuchynka • October 17, 2022
Fall Wine Extravaganza Join us for an afternoon of delicious wines! Unlike our tastings of the past, this will be more like what we call a "trade" tasting. Each rep will be stationed at a table with 4 of their wines - a mix of chilled whites/roses and reds. You are welcome to mingle, pose questions to the reps, bounce back and forth and taste at your own pace. We'll provide solo cups to encourage you to pace yourself and spit. We'll have staff passing bites of food to pair. We'll be joined by Eric, Jesse and Ken in the Coupeville Rec Hall. This will give us all plenty of room to spread out. There will be discounts offered, lots of conversations had and as much education as you would like. This is a standing, social tasting. Wine club members enjoy discounted ticket pricing as well as deeper discounts on orders at the event. Join one of our wine clubs before the event to take advantage of these extra discounts. You don't want to miss this one! A great opportunity to taste before you buy, restock your wine rack and choose a few special bottles for the upcoming holiday season. Saturday 29 October 3 - 5 Coupeville Rec Hall tickets are required Non-wine Club member Wine Club member
