Back on the Flatiron Wine School mezzanine for a second appearance after his last smash-hit Sake seminar, Will Sugarman, sake educator for the Kome Collective, will lead us through savory sake styles on Wednesday, September 18 at 6pm on our mezzanine.
In this class we will taste several sakes on the savory end of the flavor spectrum, and delve into the lore, production and flavors of this fascinating beverage with Will as our guide. With the emphasis on umami as a concept, we'll explore sakes like Yuho and Mantensei and Manatsuru. Going into the fall, these expressions will stand up to hearty, richer dishes. We will taste sake as an expression of place and time, and explore a space between a freshly bottled Jumai Ginjo namazake and a Paulo Cortado Sherry. "Big flavor country," as Vintus's Steven Van Haren puts it.
In other words, even if you're already a sake lover, we will be showing some incredibly unique bottlings that we're betting you haven't tried before. They're sure to open up the sake world for you, especially when it comes to food pairings!
Seating is very limited for this exclusive seminar. The cost of this seminar is $30 and a $20 credit at the store will be extended to each guest for a future purchase. We hope you can join us at 6pm on Wednesday, September 18 on our mezzanine for this very special event.
