The call: Bodacious’s current downtown event calendar does not list a wine tasting in the next week; the listed Sept. 10 event is the $85 Hands-On Sushi Class instead.

Real-time local factors

• Bodacious’s current Pensacola calendar shows sushi, lunch-box, mocktail, pasta, and charcuterie classes—not a wine tasting.
• For a proper tasting next week, East Hill Bottle Shop has one on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 5–7 PM: $20, charcuterie included, plus a $10 credit toward a bottle from the tasting lineup. 2704 N. 12th Ave., Pensacola · (850) 466-3505. Details
• The tasting is just north of downtown/East Hill, with lot and nearby street parking listed by the host.

Runners-up

• Bodacious mocktail masterclass, Sept. 17 — better if you want a guided sipping class but don’t need wine.
• East Hill Bottle Shop, Sept. 9 — the clear pick if wine tasting is the priority.

What flips this: If Bodacious announces a tasting through its social channels or direct booking page, that would be the downtown choice—but it was not on its published events calendar when checked.
