Over the course of a year, members will have the opportunity to go to 6 wine and food tasting sessions to discover the culinary pairings that maximize the experience of fine wines from around the world.

Each session will include a couple of seasonally influenced wines and eight or more small dishes to test and discern what pairs the finest. Members are encouraged to frequently take notes on each featured wine and dish as a way to document your preferences for future culinary experiences.

Membership Fee $200/year per person, or $350 per couple. Sessions will be held on Thursday’s at Nadolski’s Butcher Shop after store closing from 7-9pm when guests can be comfortably seated to eat, taste and enjoy!
