Sizzle & Swirl - Cooking Class & Wine Tasting March 17, 2010

Parties That Cook invites you to "Sizzle & Swirl," an exciting evening of wine tasting paired with a hands-on cooking class. Admission includes wine tasting and pairing with a menu of international appetizers.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a nibble and a glass of wine produced by Crushpad Winery. A presentation including explanation of key steps in the wine making process will follow. You'll enjoy a series of comparative tastings from Crushpad's library of ultra-premium wines exploring a unique wine-tasting theme that may include the wines of the Russian River Valley or blind tasting Rhone whites, for example.

You'll then be treated to a lively introductory cooking lesson by the Parties That Cook chefs featuring tips such as the fastest way to dice an onion without a tear. Working together with other guests, you'll cook up an array of gourmet appetizers designed to pair with the wines. Each team will work on a recipe from the evening's tapas menu, all while sipping wine and listening to upbeat music.

You'll then relax and have a chance to enjoy the "fruits of your labor"! After the event, we'll email you copies of the recipes and digital photos.

*We limit each event to 40 guests.
*Vegetarian options can be accommodated with 5-day advance notice.

NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted.
