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 standout selections from The Wine Shop, each expertly matched with summer seasonal bites.
This special summer edition highlights bright, refreshing wines perfect for warm-weather sipping—think crisp whites, chilled reds, and vibrant rosés that shine on even the hottest days. You’ll discover how seasonal flavors and lighter styles can elevate your summer gatherings, from backyard dinners to easy patio nights.
Throughout the class, you’ll learn how to properly taste wine—from sight and aroma to structure and finish—while Ryan breaks down the techniques behind successful pairings and explains why each combination works. Whether you’re new to wine or looking to deepen your appreciation, this experience is designed to be both educational and delicious.
Must be 21+ to attend.
*All class ticket sales are final. No refunds or credit transfers to other classes are available. If you purchase a ticket and are unable to attend, please contact us to check our waitlist.*
