The Coast Guard House Historic Inn is offering a 4-hour intensive food and wine pairing workshop taught by food and wine affinities chef and instructor Dory Kwan of Food for Thought. These workshops will take place from noon to 4PM and will enable participants to "build their own perfect food pairing" for any wine without altering the wine's inherent character.
The
workshop

overview
of the
anatomy
of
taste.
We

individual
aroma
recognition
and
palate
development
as it
relates
to wine
and
food.
Participants
will
taste
and
analyze
a
flight
of two
varietals
of
wine. The
second
part of
the
workshop
will
consist
of
understanding
how to
balance
tastes
and how
to
subsequently
create
a “no
fail”
food
and
wine
pairing.
We will
address
specific
cooking
techniques,
including
additive
as well
as
reductive
to
concentrate
flavors
when
preparing
food.
We will
end by
tasting
and
analyzing
food
and
wine
pairing
samples. The
fee for
the
workshop
is
$150/
person.
No
prior
wine
experience
or
knowledge
is
required;
participants

open
mind
