American Sommelier in partnership with the Charlie Palmer Group, Master Chef and Hospitality Entrepreneur Charlie Palmer’s collection of award-winning restaurants and hotels, is pleased to announce a new monthly series of experiential wine events. Scheduled to take place one Monday of each month at Palmer’s flagship location Aureole in New York City from February 6 to December 17, 2012, the 12 session series of two-hour seminars is designed to not only help participants make informed and intelligent wine choices, but also explore unique topics including Lock, Stock & Barrel; Unusual Grapes and Why We Love Them; and History in the Tasting.

Each seminar will be hosted by American Sommelier President & CEO Andrew F. Bell, with Aureole Beverage Director Justin Lorenz on hand to lend his expertise.

During each seminar, attendees will taste 10 wines carefully selected to illustrate the evening’s theme, paired with light hors d‘oeuvres from Aureole’s Executive Chef Marcus Ware. On May 10, a limited-seating Spring Pairing Dinner will feature a specially-prepared seasonal menu and wines artfully paired with each of the four courses.
