with Ryan Kalkwarf of Honeycomb Kitchen Shop
Join us for a wine pairing class led by our very own Ryan Kalkwarf, a sommelier with over 20 years of experience and a passion for turning great wine into unforgettable moments. Ryan will guide participants through four thoughtfully curated pairings featuring exceptional wines from California and Oregon, each expertly matched with seasonal bites designed to highlight the unique character of the wines.
This special edition celebrates the diverse wine regions of the American West Coast, from California's sun-drenched vineyards to Oregon's cool-climate wine country. You'll explore a variety of styles, including crisp whites, expressive rosés, elegant Pinot Noirs, and bold reds, while learning how climate, geography, and winemaking traditions influence what's in your glass.
Throughout the class, you’ll learn how to properly taste wine—from sight and aroma to structure and finish—while Ryan breaks down the principles behind successful food and wine pairings and explains what makes each combination work so beautifully. Join us as we explore the flavors, landscapes, and winemaking traditions that make the Pacific Coast one of the world's most exciting wine regions.
Whether you’re new to wine or looking to deepen your appreciation, this experience is designed to be both educational and delicious.
