Paris in Springtime (SOLD OUT!)
Apr

Paris in Springtime (SOLD OUT!)

There is possibly nothing as magical as Paris during the spring. The city comes to life with blossoming trees and renewed bustling on the streets, cafés pull tables onto the sidewalks early in the morning and keep them until the last of the wine is emptied well after midnight. What is it about Paris? What is it about France?

couch + cork invites you to learn about French wine. You'll receive three full-size bottles of wine, a shopping list, prep instructions, recipes and a surprise or two. While you'll prep beforehand, we'll cook (quick and easy recipes), sip and nibble together as you are introduced to delectable French wine and food pairings that you can easily recreate for yourself or guests.

Topics include: What is an AOC and do they matter? How much should I spend on French wine? When should I drink the wines in my collection? When travel is available, which are the go-to places and experiences to seek out in France's wine regions (and which regions are okay to skip). We'll also provide a cheat sheet on throwing together French-inspired pairings that don't require more than what you likely already have in the house.

As always, your tasting will be led by the experts at couch + cork who bring a certain je ne sais quoi to every tasting. Tasting is limited to 24 households.

Registration is $60 per household and includes 3 bottles of wine. You must register by April 1st!
