Winter Wine Series: Valentine’s Dinner

As we conclude our first series of wine classes we’d like to invite you to join us for a very special dinner. Didn’t attend the wine classes? No problem! While this dinner will feature wines tasted throughout the series it can be enjoyed independently of the classes. For those that did attend the classes this will be a great opportunity to appreciate all that you’ve learned. We’ll also introduce you to a new varietal specific to the dinner. So, what should you expect?

Attendees will be welcomed to a brief reception with a few appetizers and some passed sparkling. From there we will take a seat as we get started on 5 amazingly prepared food courses expertly paired with wine. Each course will be introduced by our chef and the wine pairing will be discussed by our esteemed wine educator Anne Richter Arnold. In addition to being an instructor with the Commonwealth School of Wine, Anne is the founder and chief contributor to the blog and website fromthevinetowine.com. Anne is a Certified Specialist of Wine and holds a WSET Level 3 certification with distinction.

Whether you’re looking to test your knowledge or are just looking for an eventful night out with someone special, this will certainly prove to be a night to remember!
