At every meal, we stand at a crossroads: which wine with which dish? Which flavors will elevate each other, and which will compete? Explore those choices at FORK IT: an evening full of intention, curiosity, and a healthy dose of fun.
Winemaker Alexandra Henkelman and chef Amanda Skog have created an interactive tasting experience that puts you in the driver’s seat. With 4 wines and 16 thoughtfully prepared bites at your fingertips, you’ll learn the principles that make great pairings work—and then try out. Does acidity brighten this bite? Does richness balance that wine? What happens when you pair something unexpected?
This is pairing without pretension. We’ll introduce you to classic combinations reimagined for real life (no caviar required), share the science behind what works and why, and encourage you to trust your instincts. As the evening progresses, we’ll build toward more composed dishes that showcase the interplay of flavor, texture, and balance.
You’ll leave with more than knowledge—you’ll leave with confidence. The kind that means you can open any bottle, set out any spread, and know exactly how to bring them together in a way that feels personal, intentional, and absolutely delicious.
