15 Rules of Food & Wine Pairing

The “That’s a Lot of Food Nibblers” Class!

Welcome to the tasting that feels like a culinary treasure hunt — where every sip has a sidekick, every flavor has an accomplice, and the table slowly fills with so many little bites you start to wonder if this is technically still a class or a secret banquet.

Our winemaker, Donna, takes the lead. She pours a spectrum of whites, rosés, reds, and sweet wines like she’s dealing tarot cards, and with each pour comes another edible clue: citrusy sparks, savory anchors, spicy curveballs, salty jolts, bitter edges, umami swells, and sweet little miracles. These aren’t snacks — they’re instruments, and you’re learning how to play them.

One moment the combination on your tongue is so harmonious it feels like the room got brighter; the next, you hit a clash so spectacularly wrong it becomes unforgettable… and useful. Because sometimes the best lessons are the ones that blow up a little.

Come curious, come hungry, leave with a palate that’s been recalibrated for glory. This class isn’t just a tasting — it’s a map.
