a global wine tour of sophisticated, nuanced, food-friendly red wines that will surprise your palate and awaken your senses.
These wines deliver power with style and elegance, rather than sheer muscle. And with spring around the corner (we hope!),
these wines will easily carry you into warmer weather. Anne also teams up with Coupe Space to match each wine perfectly
with delectable tasting bites and hors d'oeuvres featuring artisan cheeses, seasonal produce, various meats, premium choco-
late and much more. Expand your vinous horizons and take your wine and food-pairing knowledge to the next level at this
essential event for novice and advanced food and wine-lovers alike!

with author and international drink expert Stephen Beaumont (www.worldofbeer.com)
Calling all manly-men and steroetype-defying ladies! The Tasting Club is thrilled to welcome back Stephen Beaumont (after a
mind-blowing Beer-Tasting last summer) for another ridiculously over-the-top Tasting Club event. This time, Stephen is tack-
ling the fascinating and misunderstood world of Scottish Whisky, Bourbon, Irish Whiskey, and wait for it, even Whisky from
India. There will be vatted malts, blended whiskies, single malts, smoky monsters and the best value Whisky around (it's not
what you think it is). But, we're not stopping there... Stephen's expertise also extends to cheese-pairing, so he'll line up a ros-
ter of Whiskies/Whiskeys with a perfectly-matched selection of artisanal, premium cheeses from our friends at the Cheese
Boutique. A luxurious night of cheese and drink that you won't soon forget, and yes, Stephen will explain that whole
Whisky/Whiskey thing.
