Yin & Yang of Asian Food and Wine Class

• About 2-1/2 hours in length. US $75 per person, minimum of 6. Includes wines.

For many of us the task of putting food and wine together harmoniously is a mystery, especially the complicity of Asian Flavors. Too often wine professionals have over analyzed or rhapsodized about wine and used jargon that is both unfamiliar and intimidating. As a result many of us have felt some angst about the subject and are afraid of getting outside our comfort zone. Chef Mei has long been an advocate of taking the fear out of wine.

It's divided into two parts. We begin with an aroma challenge in which each of us will focus on our ability to identify flavors using the most important organ of taste - - our nose! In the second part, Mei will lead us through an Asian food and wine pairing in which we’ll taste several wines with foods and learn how they interact and affect each other. It's fun and you should come away with a better understanding of how to successfully pair wine and Asian food.

Cooking and Team Building Classes

• Interactive classes in which guests work together to complete a delicious meal learning techniques and culinary history in the process. US $100 per person, minimum of 6 plus wine.
