Class Description
Start the new year off on a sweet note! This class is for wine enthusiasts, both beginners and pros, who would like to learn all the ins and outs of wine and dessert pairings in a “one-stop-shop” class. Tonight’s class is taught by Food and Beverage Journalist Dave Eckert. Eckert has spent the better part of 30 years exploring the world of wine through print, broadcast, hands-on wine tastings, wine and food pairings, and vineyard and winery profiles. In his award-winning Public Broadcasting series, Culinary Travels with Dave Eckert, Eckert produced, hosted, and directed 275 half-hour episodes on six continents. He currently hosts food and beverage segments on My KC LIVE on KCTV5 and writes and food and beverage column for Kansas City Homes and Style Magazine.
The world of dessert wine is not easy to navigate with so many different regions, so many different grape varieties, and so many different expressions, picking a wine to pair with dessert, or just one to sip and savor by the fire, can be a daunting, and expensive, task. But, as wine lover, food and beverage journalist, and port fanatic, Dave Eckert, will show you, it doesn't have to be.
In this class, Eckert will introduce you to dessert wines from all around the world, and he'll have some food pairings to help you with your dessert wine selection. Matching the right wine with the right dessert is a wonderful way to end an evening, and this class will provide a wonderful evening to get you there.
