It’s no secret: wine is built for food. But consumers of all ages and experience levels are often confused or unsure when it comes to choosing which wine to pair with what dish! In this class, Annie will share with you the tried-and-true jumping-off points, dive a little into food science and wine chemistry and how that affects pairing decisions, help you explore ways to be creative, and share when you should heed the “rules” and when you most definitely should break them. (Yes, you CAN have red wine with fish.) Annie will pour five classic wines and provide extensive light bites designed to illustrate what makes a pairing work… or not! This one’s definitely going to be fun, so come prepared to whet your whistle and get your pairing on.
