Sauced Education with Jason Wilson
We added a new series of classes, Sauced Education, featuring Jason Wilson. He’s pretty much the food & beverage equivalent of a rock star: he wrote the bestselling book Boozehound, he is the Washington Post’s spirits columnist, and the restaurant critic for the Philadelphia Daily News. His next class is XO: Luxury Cognac and Brandy. I highly recommend checking it out.
Here is the tasting sheet for his previous class, Whiskey & Beyond

Corked & Forked: The Private Event
A new private event offering we have at the Wine School is a Food & Wine Pairing event, in which I create a custom menu and wine pairing for a private group. It’s been a huge hit. This is the menu from a recent one:
- Artisanal Cheese Tray with Savory Fig Preserves and Quince Jam
- Smoked Sturgeon with Horseradish and Green Onions
- Lobster Minestrone Soup
- Fresh Cavatelli Pasta with White Truffles
- New Jersey Caprese Salad
- Charcuterie of Traditional Italian Meats
- Caramelized Oyster Mushrooms with Hazelnut Accented Greens
- Country Pâté with Pepper Jam and Housemade Ketchup
This is great for bigger groups (14-20 people), since it’s a set price for the event, rather than being per-person. For more info: Corked & Forked. Even better, if you purchase everyone a copy of my bestselling cookbook, I’ll make sure to sign the books and give everyone a free gift certificate to the Wine School!
