The Festive Palate: Mastering Holiday Wines & Bites

Keep holiday hospitality fun this year. We'll show you how!

Hosting a holiday dinner? Bringing a bottle to a party? Wondering what wine goes with turkey, cheese, or Grandma's famous Christmas cookies? We've got you covered.

Join Ed and Reggie at Oly Wines for a fun, interactive evening exploring five wines that deserve a place on your holiday table. We'll cover the simple theory of food and wine pairing, taste some delicious combinations, and share a few tricks to help you take the guesswork out of choosing the right bottle.

What to Expect:

• Five Wines Worth Knowing: Discover five carefully selected wines for holiday dinners, celebrations, and gifting.

• Food & Wine Pairing Made Simple: Learn what works together, what doesn't, and why. Yes, we'll even talk about wine with holiday cookies and cakes!

• A Little Wine Education: Explore grape varieties, regions, aromas, and flavors without getting lost in wine jargon.

• Tips to Impress (Without Trying Too Hard): Learn how to choose, serve, and talk about wine with a little more confidence.

• Good Wine, Good Bites, Good Company: Taste, ask questions, share opinions, and have some fun along the way.

Whether you're hosting the big holiday dinner, showing up with a bottle of wine, or just trying to avoid bringing something that clashes with the menu, you'll leave with ideas you can use.
