Corked & Forked: Intro To Food & Wine Pairing with Chef Andrew Kneessy

With some simple rules and basic education, you can have a handle on how to pair wines with your favorite dishes. Chef Andrew Kneessy, an accomplished Executive Chef with extensive wine and food-pairing knowledge, is as passionate about wine as he is about food!  

We’re in luck tonight because you’re going to get the best of both worlds as he shares simple rules for pairing wine as well as teaches us the various favor profiles. Whether you just want to understand the wine list when you’re dining out or make your around a wine shop, this class is your 'go to' class! 

How to pair with Asian dishes, barbecue, delicate fish dishes, Mexican… you name it. We’ll take a trip through the awesome of world of flavor profiles as we taste ingredients and small plates with the various wine choices best suited for that ingredient or dish. Chef will even teach you how to walk through a couple of the small plate recipes he will be serving.

A great class with lasting benefit… from an experienced Chef and oenophile!
