Wine OR Wine & Food

Ever been to a party (or given one…) where the “cheese” was a pile of white and yellow cubes with toothpicks sticking out of them? Nevermore! In this informative and tasty class, we’ll explore a selection of cheeses just perfect for parties, from casual entertaining to formal dining. We’ll learn how to cut, plate, and serve cheese, and then try a selection of wines chosen to pair with a the cheeses to create great combinations. We’ll also share some tips about selecting and buying cheese, so you get the best selection from the Whole Foods cheese counter! The class is limited to 24 students, so please register early!

Each class will start promptly at 7:15 pm, and will run for approximately 2 hours. Each class will feature a selection of cheeses and wines. We’ll start each class by trying the wines, then the cheeses, and then we’ll pair them up. We’ll discuss our impressions of each component, and share ideas on what works, and what doesn’t. Each class will feature a handout with information on the wines, cheeses, and parings, along with ample space for you to take notes on each.

All classes will be held at the Whole Foods Lifestyle Center, on San Remo Avenue in Coral Gables. It is just South of US1, behind the Whole Foods Store, about ½ block EAST of Red Road. Street parking is available at the meters, or for free in the Whole Foods Garage.

Class size is limited, so PLEASE sign up early. Individual classes are $64.50 each; the entire series is $157.50.
