Wine Pairings

# 82 Perfect Pours for Locavores: Vegetarian Pairings with New York State White Wines (NEW CLASS)
tasting and demonstration


You don’t have to go far to drink well! Experience for yourself the extraordinary quality of some of the most highly regarded New York State white wines and learn how to use traditional principles of food pairing to select the right one for a meal. Robin will briefly discuss the history of winemaking in our area, acquaint us with a wine-tasting vocabulary, and impart ideas of how to evaluate and compare each selection. Tasting each wine alone, then with its complement from our delicious tasting plate, we’ll take notes on the pairings and share our observations. Fresh Pea Ciabatta Crostini with Mint and Ricotta; Wild Mushroom, Spinach and Garlic Scape Frittata with Frizzled Spring Onions; Open-Faced Breakfast Radish and Butter Sandwiches with Coarse Sea Salt on Rosemary Bread; and Pink Peppercorn-Dusted Fresh Goat Cheese. (Some organic eggs and dairy will be used. A different wine will be poured with each dish.)
