umami mami: are you a charcuterie star?

ooh-mah-me: we love savory&nbsp; You read that right. Tonight we’re lining up a flight of cheeses with a gorgeous flight of charcuterie (read: this class is not for the meatless eaters!). Why does the saltiness of cured meats bring out a whole new side to cheese? Why are we SO into weird wines with these pairings?&nbsp;Why is salt so darn good?&nbsp;All great questions… gotta come to find out. All class tickets include drink, cheese, and pairing flights, an interactive and engaging education, and discount to shop after the class.

crushin' on you

GET YOUR “I LOVE LUCY” ON! It’s gonna be foot stompin’, grape crushin’ good, babe. Join us for a class dedicated to wines that come from grapes crushed with pure foot-power. Winemakers get their clean feet dirty when grapes are ready, put ‘em all in buckets, and go to town. The result? Wine with more character, visual, and the pulling urge to up and become a maker. Come try some small batch beauties and see if you can taste the difference!

BLINDFOLDED.

Don't be afaid of the dark... Let us do all the heavy lifting for an evening, ok? Put on some blindfolds, sit back, listen to the smooth sounds of some wine-talk while you guess what the heck is in front of you. Don’t worry, no one can see you raise your hand when you think the white wine is a light bodied red. In this class, we encourage playing with your food, trying something “just because”, and grabbing the hand of your new friend that is most definitely&nbsp;not&nbsp;the person you came with. Perfect for a night that needs a little extra flair &amp; celebration, or a date to welcome some zest and flavor.

Pardon my French!

voulez-vous…some cheese? Let’s get down with some French vibes. Today we’re dedicating a chunk of time to our favorite bits and bops of the countryside and the sea.
