The Art of Food and Wine Pairing

Ever wonder why some wines just work with certain foods? This class, hosted by Ron Burke, breaks down the basics of wine and food pairing in a way that’s easy, approachable, and actually useful.

Sip through a selection of wines alongside different bites and discuss how acidity, sweetness, salt, fat, spice, and texture can completely change what you taste. You’ll learn a few simple pairing rules, when it’s okay to break them, and how to confidently choose a wine for dinner without overthinking it.

Come hungry, come curious, and leave ready to pair wine and food like you actually know what you’re doing.
