How Things Work on That Night…

With each of the foods, Victoria describes the food (special ingredients, preparation style, etc) and I describe the wines and why I’ve recommended the particular wine/varietal for the designated food. Our goal is to do more than just provide a great evening of food and wine – we want to provide a little education as well so that you can do your own food and wine pairing and multiply your enjoyment.

A couple more things:

  • Space is limited to 22 people.
  • I’ll “assign” wines as people register for the event. I generally only assign the varietal, allowing guests to choose the specific bottling so that they can purchase a wine in their comfort zone. I’ll be asking each couples (or individual, as applicable) to bring a bottle of wine to share with the group.
