Uncommon Grapes, Extraordinary Wines
Food & Drink

The world of wine is vast and includes literally thousands of different grapes. Let’s explore them together. In this class, we will move beyond the varietals we already know and try exciting alternatives. For Italian wines, we’ll depart from Pinot Grigio and Chianti and try bright Vermentino and complex Nero d’Avola. For France, instead of Chablis and Bordeaux, we’ll try crisp Vouvrey and rich Hermitage. We’ll also go beyond the regions we usually drink to try South African Pinotage, Australian Viognier, Hungarian Tokaji, and more! Let’s expand our palate and try some stunning wine varietals that you may not have heard of before but which might become your new favorites. Light snacks will be offered. Ages 21+

Coffee Tasting & Roasting
Food & Drink

Coffee is love! Learn where specialty coffee comes from, how it is processed, graded, and roasted, then taste a few different types. After the group has decided which coffee they like the best, we will fire up the roaster and develop a batch of freshly roasted beans. After they have cooled, we will bag them and everyone will leave with a 12 oz. bag of their own freshly roasted coffee.

Culinary Explorations of the Sephardic Diaspora
Food & Drink

Cook up some classic dishes from the Sephardic diaspora. When the Jews of Spain and Portugal were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, they ended up in areas reaching from the Maghreb (Northern Africa) to the Levant (Western Asia). Their resulting cuisine tends to be healthy, aromatic, and interesting to the palate. We will learn how to make a classic hummus from scratch, chraime (spicy fish stew) from Tunisia, a Yemenite hot sauce called schoug, and a yogurt flatbread to scoop it all up with. Please bring an apron and a container for leftovers.

So whether it’s slicing or dicing, you’re sure to leave this class with valuable skills to practice in your own kitchen. PLEASE NOTE: You must bring your own large chef's knife (approx 8") and a paring knife (approx 3"-4") along with a container to bring home leftovers. Bring an apron if you like. Ages 18+
