NEW IN 2017!

Join in a fun and relaxed evening where we will explore the fundamentals of food and wine pairing.  We will be tasting different styles of wine and an array of basic food types to discover the matching principles that will result in a more enjoyable dining experience and in some cases could even end up transforming the food and wine into a wonderful symbiotic relationship.  We will share our own impressions with each other, learn more about the wines poured, and take away many practical points to pair wine for a dinner party or for a great experience when dining out!
