Albertsons in Corona del Mar has been granted an “instructional tasting license” by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, paving the way for wine and beer tastings at the store at 3049 East Coast Highway.

“We will have our first ‘tasting’ this Saturday,” said Store Director Robin Begley. The free event will feature Yellow Tail and Ruta 22 wine in the liquor department, she said, and will be open from 2 to 6 p.m.

The grocery applied for the license in September; read our story here.

According to the ABC website, the license was granted Dec. 7 and will expire June 12 — although the website indicates that the license’s term is for 12 months. Click here to see the license details.

In September, store employees said they would feature the tastings in an area cordoned off, away from children. At that time, they also moved wine and beer coolers to be closer to the rest of the liquor department.

The next tasting will take place Feb. 11 and 12.
