Every good meal can become great when paired with the proper beverage. In this part of the series we will discuss how everything you drink has an impact on the flavor and experience of your dinner. If your preference is a glass of wine or a cold beer, you will learn how the right type of either can make your experience great. Each session will be complimented by a four-course dinner and each course will be expertly paired (included) with a beverage of the month’s topic. You will not only hear about how wine will impact your meal but experience this, too.
