That wine brings out the BEST in weasel soup: Holiday Wine And Food Pairing

Do you slowly slide out of sight behind the couch and crawl out of the room when talk turns to matching food and wine? You’re not the only one. Lots of people are intimidated, maybe even terrified, at the mere thought of picking an appropriate wine to go with food. Not to worry – Philadelphia area Chaddsford Wine Educator Anthony Ianni and featured special guest sommelier Marnie Old are here to save the holiday season for you. Make plans now to attend Sommelier’s Secrets of Holiday Wine and Food Pairing at the Chaddsford Winery November 7, 2008, from 7-9 PM.

Never again find yourself at a loss as to which bottle to uncork when you’re serving up the annual Thanksgiving Spam and Twinkies feast. You’ll know it by instinct after this class. Not only will you learn which wines go with which foods, but why. This primer class arrives just in time for the holiday season. Listen up people: I don’t care which diet you’re on right now. There’s going to be a lot of eating and drinking in your life over the next two months. Might as well do it the right way. Impress your friends and confound your enemies when you calmly whip out a bottle of wine and drop a few comments about why it works so well with the weasel soup.
