Bay Street Theater will have a Valentine's themed benefit, The Subject Was Rosé, on Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. Roman Roth will host a live virtual tasting of two Wolffer Estate Vineyard wines that will be sent to arrive before the program. Kyle Barisich will cover romantic songs inspired by the holiday.

Mr. Barisich's credits include "Dear Evan Hansen" and "The Phantom of the Opera." The wines to be explored are Grandioso rosé and Caya cab franc. Mr. Roth is the founding winemaker at Wolffer, where he is a partner. He is also president of the Long Island Wine Council.

Tickets are $150 and include the performance, price of the wine, and shipping, as well as a $75 donation to Bay Street. They must be purchased by Monday (Feb. 29) to allow enough time for shipping. A private Zoom link to join the tasting will be sent on the day of the event.

David Mulford, played in the leadup to the 1776 Battle of Long Island, and of his fate during the region’s subsequent occupation by the British.
