Taste Like a Pro: Wine & Food Pairing Basics on the Rooftop

Join us at The Willard Rooftop for a journey into the world of wine and food pairing in an intimate class designed specifically for beginners and casual wine enthusiasts. Learn the art of pairing by focusing on three versatile wines: an unoaked Chardonnay, a classic Pinot Noir, and a surprise bottle of bubbles!

You’ll master the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami) and learn to describe wine like a pro using the 5 S’s (See, Swirl, Smell, Sip, Savor) method. We’ll explore how simple foods interact with different wines, helping you understand what enhances or clashes with their flavors. Small bites will be provided to highlight each of the five basic tastes, along with a palate cleanser (crackers/bread, with gluten-free options available).
