This event is SOLD OUT! Please contact us to join the waiting list, or for more information about upcoming Wine Lab Sundays, tastingroom@firestonewine.com.
Join us as we take a dive deep into the world of wine in a series of fun and informative monthly wine gatherings. We will feature three Foley Food & Wine Society partner wineries from across California exploring common themes among them.
On Sunday, February 12th, Sommelier Billie Rolla will lead a group of wine enthusiasts in “Chocolate & Wine: Perfect Match or a Bitter Relationship?” that includes hands-on experiments, small group conversation, and of course a Chocolate and Wine pairing!
Pairing wines with dessert is one of the greatest food and wine pairing challenges. Too much unbalanced sugar can make a wine taste bitter and sour. On top of it all, it can be difficult to tell if a wine is sweet or just fruity. But don’t give up on this relationship yet! In this lab, you will learn to confidently read the sweetness of a wine and impress your loved ones with your perfectly sweet pairing.
The cost of Wine Lab Sundays includes TWO (2) seats at the table, so bring a friend, a loved one, or just yourself and meet other fun wine enthusiasts. Absolutely no previous wine knowledge is necessary.

2018 Foley Sonoma Winemakers Series Brut, Russian River Valley
