Small Plates Wine Pairing Class

Saturday, January 4, 2025 | 6:00PM - 8:30PM

$199.00 (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)

Join Rory McEllin and Jenny Brown, Boisset Collection Wine Ambassador for a fun evening making a selection of small plates and learning to pair each dish with its congruent or complimentary wine (and how to distinguish between the two!)

Wines you will Sample:

Cabernet Sauvignon, Brut Sparkling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and the Boisset Signature Red Blend

Dishes you will Make:

• Classic Caesar Salad with Homemade Anchovy Dressing and Colossal Crunchy Croutons

• Lemon Butter Grilled Shrimp with Crispy Polenta

• Stuffed Ravioli with a fresh, Zesty 5 Minute Tomato Sauce

• Steak Bruschetta with Creamy Blue Cheese Sauce

• Dessert will be a FABulous Chocolate Surprise

Ever fancy holding an impromptu gathering but think it’s too much work or will take too long or don’t know which wine will go with what? In less time than it would take Uber Eats to deliver your order, Rory McEllin will teach you how to create a selection of Rapid Small Plates that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less.

Rory will guide you through creating a selection of Rapid Small Plates* and Jenny will guide you through choosing the best wine to highlight the various flavor profiles of each dish- you’ll go away with an understanding of how to pair each wine to fully appreciate its flavor.

*(You’ll create everything Bold and Underlined above- due to time constrictions, some items like the Ravioli and dessert will be prepared for you) Even though we are calling them ‘Small Plates’, you will definitely go home with a full belly (and probably some leftovers too!)

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
