🗓️ Date: Saturday, June 6, 2026
⏰ Time: 5:00PM-7:30PM
🍷🥂 Join Caroline Barrett and Joe Armstrong from Winebow for an evening where the glass and the plate are in perfect harmony. This isn't just a cooking class—it’s a guided exploration of how wine can transform a meal from "great" to "unforgettable."
Focusing on the bright, vibrant flavors of Spring, we’ll prepare a menu designed to be as effortless as it is elegant. As we cook, we’ll dive into the "why" behind every sip, learning how to balance acidity, spice, and texture like a pro.
Menu: [Pairings are coming soon!]
- Spring Salad of Pea Shoots, Sugar Snaps, and Butter Lettuce: A crisp, garden-fresh starter featuring creamy goat cheese, aromatic tarragon, and a bright Champagne vinaigrette.
- Drunken Clams with Chorizo and Herbs: We’ll use wine as a powerful steaming liquid to marry the briny sweetness of clams with the smoky heat of Spanish chorizo.
- Caramelized Spring Vegetables in Classic Beurre Blanc: Master the "king of French sauces"—a velvety, wine-reduction butter sauce that perfectly coats tender seasonal greens.
- Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Red Wine Reduction: A lesson in building depth. We’ll sear spiced pork and use the fond to create a rich, sophisticated red wine pan sauce.
- Rosé Poached Strawberries: A light, floral finish featuring strawberries simmered in Rosé, served with a honey biscuit and cloud-like vanilla whipped cream.
Allergen/Dietary Notice: Please be aware that the following items will be used in class: gluten, pork, egg and dairy.
