What do oysters and wines have in common? Complex flavors, the Old World and the New, cultural touchstones, aphrodisia, and a connection between taste and place.

In wine, textures and flavors that come from specific growing regions is called terroir. For bivalve aficionados, merroir is the equivalent concept, one that our experts will explore thoroughly in this class. Our oyster experts will sample several different species of oysters at the peak of their season as they take you on a culinary journey from coast to coast. As always, you will be able to sip on a lovely libation expertly paired with the oysters to enjoy during your edible lesson in merroir.

At this premiere class, a maximum of 14 guests will receive the best that Formaggio Kitchen has to offer. Oysters! Wine! Cheese! You will be seated in our retail location with the full attention of our expert cheeseminger, wine buyer, and chef. This will be a wonderful way to bring transition from April to May as we look ahead to warmer ocean days and summer.
