SUMMARY:Wine Meets Its Match: A Wine Pairing Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 22nd at 6PM for a guided tasting led by Laurie Forster\, The Wine Coach®\, designed to make wine pairing feel fun\, intuitive\, and deliciously approachable. \nHosted at The Ivy Café\, this experience invites you to rethink how wine and food work together. Laurie will lead guests through her signature “wine sandwich” method—sip the wine\, taste the food\, sip again—and help you notice how flavors shift\, soften\, and shine when the right match comes together. \nEach guest will enjoy a curated lineup of wines from Hair O’ The Dog Wine & Spirits\, along with a mix-and-match pairing line-up featuring cheeses\, fruits\, nuts\, and other thoughtfully selected bites\, encouraging you to experiment and discover pairings that surprise you. \nThis isn’t about memorizing rules or finding one “correct” pairing. It’s about learning how to trust your palate\, have fun with flavor\, and walk away with a pairing trick you’ll actually use at home. Whether you’re wine-curious or already a fan\, you’ll leave more confident\, more connected\, and with a few new favorite combinations. \nCome sip\, snack\, and let your wine meet its match—one delicious 🍷 sandwich at a time. Tickets are $54.99 and include tastings of 5 wines\, pairing placemat\, guided wine pairing instruction from The Wine Coach\, special discounts on the wines and unlimited FUN.

SUMMARY:City Winery\, New York City - Something to Wine About
DESCRIPTION:This is a “tasting” you will never forget. Laurie leaves no stone unturned when it comes to talking about wine and why we like it. Maybe you love the full body of a Malbec or the crisp acidity of a Pinot Grigio. Who knows? Who cares? But by the end of this show two things are certain. You are confident about what you like and exhausted from laughing.
