This event will be live-streamed as a Zoom meeting. Follow the link to Nicholson Ranch below to register for these two pairing experiences. You can purchase the featured wines, get the pairing ingredient list, and participate virtually with our pairing specialist Karen Hannah. She will guide participants through a two-step pairing process that explores the structural elements of the wine and how different ingredients interact to affect your palate, and then a more elevated pairing to expose nuances in the wine that you might not otherwise discover.
We had a great time at Nicholson Ranch with wonderful guests and live-stream attendees for both pairings.
