Join us on March 12th at 6PM for a guided tasting led by Laurie Forster, The Wine Coach®, designed to make wine pairing feel fun, intuitive, and deliciously approachable.

Hosted 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.

Each 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.

This 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.

Come sip, snack, and let your wine meet its match—one delicious wine 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.
