Holiday Wine Tasting

PA3 cordially invites you to a

Holiday Wine Tasting

Saturday, December 4, 2021

6:00 pm – 7:30 pm.

Via Zoom

 

Per our sommelier Sebastian Koncurat: 

Picking your Holiday wines this season this year may be challenging as we are still facing pandemic times and gatherings will be limited to small crowds. We imagine most people’s Holiday celebrations to be long meals that may begin with snacks and noshes, extend through appetizers and main courses and end, perhaps hours later, with desserts. The liveliness that comes with good acidity is in effect a survival strategy. Such wines will rejuvenate, even as all that food pushes you toward a comatose state. The French naturally have a term for this characteristic in wines, ‘digestibilité’, wines that are delicious and easy to drink without being freighted with excess or weighing too heavily in the gut...

Optional Cost: $70 plus tax for four bottles of wine plus a seminar with a certified sommelier and educator. It is not required to purchase the wines or buy all 4 bottles.  See below for cheese pairings.

For Zoom instructions, RSVP with affiliation by November 30th to Mo Chen ’80 at mochen1746@outlook.com.
