Join Arizona Culinary Institute Chefs as they present the next in a series of Wine Flight Classes
Thursday, September 18.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ., (September 10, 2014)— You’re invited to eat, drink and be merry with Arizona Culinary Institute Chefs as they present the second in a series of Wine Flight Classes. This wine lover’s event begins at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 18, at ACI’s du Jour Restaurant, 10585 North 114th Street in Scottsdale.
This cheery evening class is only $45 (Tax and gratuity included) and open to anyone 21 or older, but space is limited and participants must register online.
Featured wines will include: Muscadet from Loire Valley, France; Chenin Blanc from Cape Town, South Africa, and Nebbiolo from Italy. Each special wine will be paired with food (tasting size portions) prepared by ACI Chefs and Students.
“For the next installment of our wine education and tasting events, we have hand selected four wines that you don’t come across every day, and we will be pairing them with four small courses of food,” notes Arizona Culinary Institute Executive Chef Christopher Wolf. “We will learn a little bit about each of the wines, and the last time we did this, it sold out pretty quick, so don’t hesitate to sign up for this one. It’s a steal of a deal.”
