Food and Wine Pairing Class Offered
A new class offered by the Pierpont Community & Technical College of Fairmont State
University Community Education program will give participants the opportunity to learn
from local experts the correct way to pair food with wine.
Chef Brian Floyd and wine connoisseur Mike Shaw, owner of Montis Wine Room in Fairmont,
will showcase four courses of a meal from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24. The class
will take place at Montis Wine Room, 304 Marion Square.
"The evening is sure to be enjoyable for anyone from the seasoned wine enthusiast
to the beginner gourmet," said Ron Weist, Director of Community Education for Pierpont
C&TC.
Floyd and Shaw will give food and wine tasting and pairing tips to help foster skill
and interest. Each course will be matched with a wine or two. The demonstration will
be interactive, and participants will leave with full stomachs, as well as more knowledge
about food and wine. Participants must be 21 years old or older to attend. The cost
per person is $39.
