Sommelier's Secrets of Wine & Food Pairing ***Postponed***

Join Marnie Old, one of the country’s leading wine authors, for an interactive tasting experience that is eye-opening and utterly unforgettable featuring wine and food pairing lessons drawn from the pages of her new book Wine: A Tasting Course.

Sommelier's Secrets of Wine & Food Pairing

Discover the simple principles of sensory science that sommeliers use to choose just the right wine for a particular dish.  Explore how and why a recipe’s seasoning and preparation can be more important considerations than whether you’re serving fish or meat.  Learn hands-on ‘tricks of the trade’ that will surprise and delight beginners and connoisseurs alike.  Marnie is known for her refreshingly direct approach, so you won’t want to miss learning this relaxed wine tasting event.

Sommelier and author Marnie Old is one of the country’s leading wine speakers known for her engaging performances and incisive insights. She is a featured speaker at the annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and formerly served as Director of Wine Studies for Manhattan’s French Culinary Institute.
