Wine 101

Tables will be shared by various parties to make room for as many guests as possible. We hope this fosters community and camaraderie in the company of new friends with shared food interests! If you’d like to share a table with guests on a separate reservation, please include this in your order comments.

In this introductory class, we’ll explore different wine varietals and production methods, learn about pairing selections, and find the perfect—and affordable—bottle for meals at home. You’ll get tips on navigating local wine stores, selecting wine, evaluating a wine, and decoding a label.

No wine class would be complete without food pairings from the Caputo’s Cheese Cave and award-winning shelves. We’ll share wine-pairing guidelines for serving wine with high-quality specialty foods. Take good notes, then recreate the experience for your friends and loved ones!

Please bring a valid photo ID if imbibing. Utah’s new 100% ID law requires everyone to be carded for alcohol service.

Class begins at 7:30 p.m. Mountain Time.
