Food and Wine Pairing 101
February 28, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free – $75.00There has been much written on the art of food and wine pairings but when it comes down to it, it can be broken down to a few, simple concepts.
In this interactive class, beautifully prepared bites with artfully chosen wines will be discussed as to why they work or don’t work.
We’ll talk about the preparation of foods and accompanying sauces/condiments and their varying roles in food and wine pairings.
