On Friday, October 9, 2015, Little Brick Café and General Store will be hosting its first Home School Session, an evening of workshops that “teach practical home skills in an intimate, cozy setting.”

The three workshops for this inaugural event are Harvest Arrangements with Cory Christopher, Pie Making Fundamentals with Erica Vliegenthart, and I’ll be leading a session on Thanksgiving Wine Pairings.

In my session we’ll be tasting a fantastic sparkling wine to serve as an aperitif, followed by two very different wines that both work well with a traditional Thanksgiving spread.  Finally we’ll taste my all-time favourite pairing for pumpkin pie.

Before a cooking class I usually spend hours prepping the ingredients.  For this session I get to buy some nice wine then sit down and drink it and tell friendly faces why I like it.  A welcome change ;)
