Fireside Fortified

This winter, you're invited to warm up with an educational tasting of rich, indulgent fortified wines, thoughtfully paired with seasonal bites including cheese, nuts, and chocolate. We’ll uncover the world of Sherry, Port, Madeira, and more, discovering how these bold wines enhance winter flavors. This style of wine is perfect for gifting or savoring with friends and family, offering a cozy way to celebrate the holiday season!

Led by Michelle Ames (WSET 3, Certified Specialist of Wine), we’ll explore how fortified wines are made, break down the major styles — from grape varieties to sweetness levels — and highlight the key differences between important regions. We’ll also cover a simple, practical approach to food and wine pairing, with special attention to how high alcohol and sugar influence what works best on the plate.
