This class provides students with a greater understanding of all alcoholic beverages by celebrating the similarities and differences among beer, wine, and spirits. Writer and Certified Cicerone Ethan Fixell will break the evening into four fascinating units: alcohol history; production (brewing, winemaking, distilling); style (big-picture categories, such as lager vs. ale; or the five most important wine grapes); and perhaps most important, food pairing (when to order what; what to look for in a pairing). Of course, throughout the evening, we'll taste all sorts of beverages to illustrate specific points in the curriculum, and explore tasting technique.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
