Cook Street School of Fine Cooking Taste 5 Wine Tasting Class Review

I attended the Cook Street School of Fine Cooking Taste 5 wine tasting class on Saturday where they were featuring 5 different Cabernet Savignon wines paired with foods. When signing up, I had expected a wine tasting with a lot of explanation of each wine and its characteristics. This class is something entirely different, and, in fact, not really a class at all but instead a true tasting. They give a brief description of all the wines and foods at the beginning and then you are free to go up and get whatever foods and wines you like to try. There is no (explicit) limit on quantity and there was plenty of time (from 6-9) to taste everything at a leisurely pace. The room is set up with many tables ranging in size from 4-10 as well as some stools. There are not a lot of options for a couple to get a quiet table for two, but it is perfect if you want to meet new people (not to pick up on other singles, but to meet other couples) or even better if there is another couple you want to go with.

The food prepared was delicious across the board and went nicely with what I would describe as good mid-range wines, probably in the $15-20/bottle range. Every class has a different set of wines and food, so going into specifics may not be helpful. All you need to know is that it is tasty.

Cook Street has a variety of other wine tasting and cooking classes, as well as being a top rated culinary school.
