Virtual Wine Tasting: Fortify Yourself!

Looking for an antidote to the Winter doldrums?  Join Advanced Sommelier Mary Ross to explore fortified wines, classics to warm the soul and to elevate everyday appetizers, cheeses and desserts into epicurean delights.  We’ll taste three of the world’s finest fortifieds – Sherry, Vermouth and Port – learn their matchless production techniques and recount their histories, complete with adventure on the high seas, magic, murder and mystery!

To enhance your experience, we recommend you’re tasting the same wines with Mary Ross during class. Order your three bottles of wine for curbside pickup from The Chopping Block Lincoln Square on Tuesday 1/19, Thursday 1/21 or Saturday 1/23 from 3-5pm.

Wines Featured in Class:

• Manzanilla Sherry, Orleans Borbon, Sanlucar de Barremeda, Spain
• Vermouth Tinto Reserva, Mata, Castilla y Leon, Spain
• ‘Warrior’ Reserve Port, Warre’s, Duoro Valley, Portugal

If you’re unable to pick up the wines from TCB, we recommend you procure bottles featuring the same region and grape. This includes:

• Manzanilla or Fino Sherry from Spain
• Red Vermouth from France, Italy or Spain
• Reserve Ruby Port from Portugal

Complete your evening, and order one of our charcuterie and cheese plates to enjoy during your wine tasting available for curbside pickup on Saturday, 1/23 from 3-5pm.
