About the Event

This is not a tasting.

This is not a lecture.

This is a front-row seat to the wine world with a sommelier and author - at Margate's hottest new waterfront venue.

Event Details:

Date: Sunday, March 15, 2026
Price: $105 for members
Seats: Limited to 40
Location: Tideline, Margate
Time: 5:00 PM
Dress: Casual Chic with Chaîne Decorations

Join us for an intimate, high-touch evening at Tideline, the brand-new bay front destination that exploded onto the scene and instantly became the place everyone’s been talking about. Even before peak season, Tideline is drawing crowds for its stylish coastal vibe, elevated comfort cuisine, and jaw-dropping sunset views over the bay. In summer, it’s wall-to-wall packed — which makes this private, seated experience in March feel like a rare insider moment.

Only 40 seats. Private room upstairs. Sunset views. This is the kind of night people talk about afterward.

Meet Jimmy Quaile — Up Close
https://www.jamesquaile.com/

Spend the evening in real conversation with renowned sommelier and wine author Jimmy Quaile. No podium. No stiff presentation. Just great wine, great food, and an engaging, interactive dialogue about how wine is actually enjoyed:

what to drink when you love what you love, how to pair beyond the “rules,” and the behind-the-scenes stories from a life on the wine floor.

Bring your questions.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your palate.

Every guest receives a personalized, signed copy of Jimmy’s book

Tales from the Wine Floor: 100 Questions Asked of a Sommelier — witty, approachable, and genuinely fun. Your book will be signed on the spot — a keepsake you’ll actually want to display.

A Special Note About the Wine

We are incredibly grateful to our esteemed members Ted Lippman, Peter Capporilli, Fred Kneble and Scott Strenger, who have generously agreed to sponsor all of the wines being poured for this evening.

If you know these guys, you already know what that means.

These are not casual wine buyers — these are serious wine people. The kind who don’t mess around. Expect bottles that spark conversation, raise eyebrows, and make you quietly text your wine friends afterward.

Let’s just say… the wines alone are going to be something to look forward to.

Jimmy Quaile Bio

Jimmy Quaile is the sommelier you wish you could sit next to at dinner.

https://www.jamesquaile.com/

A Certified Sommelier with decades of real-world wine experience in the restaurant and retail trade, Jimmy has built a reputation for making wine feel fun, approachable, and refreshingly unpretentious — without ever dumbing it down. He’s served on the front lines of fine dining, curated wine programs, trained hospitality teams, and spent years answering the same burning questions guests always ask about wine… which inspired his acclaimed book, Tales from the Wine Floor: 100 Questions Asked of a Sommelier.

What makes Jimmy different isn’t just what he knows — it’s how he shares it.

He tells stories. He breaks “rules.” He gives you permission to drink what you love. He connects wine to real life, real food, and real moments — not stiff traditions or intimidating jargon.

His talks feel less like a lecture and more like pulling up a chair with a great storyteller who happens to know everything about wine. Guests walk away laughing, learning, and suddenly feeling a lot more confident about what they’re drinking and why.

Jimmy is known for:

Making wine accessible without losing its magic
Challenging old-school pairing rules in smart, practical ways
Creating engaging, interactive conversations instead of boring tastings
Turning curious wine drinkers into confident ones

He’s a sought-after speaker and guest who typically appears at private events and curated dinners — and when he does, rooms light up. This is a rare chance to experience Jimmy up close, ask him anything, and walk away with both a new perspective and a signed copy of his book as a keepsake from the night.

In short:

Jimmy Quaile doesn’t just pour wine.

He changes the way you experience it.
