What’s Happening?

Our monthly Explorer Series class is taking a slight detour this month and pairing wines and wine-based spirits! Join us Nov. 16th at 6:30 for this unique tasting experience - wine and wine-based spirits.

We don't tend to make many wine-based spirits in the U.S., but Europe is full of them. The history of wine stretches back at least 8,000 years, but that's not the case with distilled drinking spirits. Thousands and thousands of years of wine production creates an awful lot of waste: grape skins, pulp, stems, and seeds, referred to as the pomace. What do you do with it all? Grappa, marc, tsipouro, or rakia are all European spirits made from the leftover components from wine production.

Join us for a rare opportunity to taste several wine and wine-pomace spirits side by side (think: Nebbiolo wine and Grappa Nebbiolo). We'll talk about how specific grapes translate between wine and spirits, how terroir impacts the taste, and the history behind them. Cost is $35 per person and you can add a meat & cheese plate or veggie & hummus plate for $9 each.
