About this Event
🍰 WINE & DESSERT PAIRING EVENT 🍷
Ready to have your mind (and taste buds) completely blown? We're hosting a wine and dessert pairing event that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about sweet endings.
We've curated four homemade-style desserts paired with wines that'll make you forget all about your main course – because when dessert gets this kind of attention, everything else is just an appetizer.
THE DESSERT LINEUP:
🍑 Peach, Honey, & Goat Cheese Squares Buttery puff pastry topped with creamy goat cheese, paper-thin red onion, fresh peach slices, and a drizzle of golden honey – best served warm
Wine Pairing: Vouvray Les Lys (Loire Valley Chenin Blanc)
🍾 Cranberry Orange Cheesecake Shooters Elegant parfaits layered with rich cheesecake, tart cranberry-orange compote, toasted pecans, and whipped cream – topped with a crisp maple leaf tuile cookie
Wine Pairing: Graham Beck Brut (South African Sparkling)
🍫 Flourless Chocolate Cake + Aged Gouda Decadent chocolate intensity meets crystalline aged gouda with chocolate notes from Madison's finest cheese makers – because some combinations are just meant to be
Wine Pairing: Mary Taylor Odile Delpon Cahors (French Malbec)
🎃 Pumpkin Crème Brûlée Silky spiced custard with that perfect caramelized sugar crack – autumn comfort in dessert form
Wine Pairing: E&M Berger Zweigelt (Austrian Red)

Each pairing comes with tasting notes that won't make you feel like you need a sommelier degree to understand what you're drinking. We're talking approachable wine knowledge with just enough sophistication to impress your friends.
Whether you're a wine newbie or someone who swirls their glass like they mean business, this event is designed for real people who appreciate the finer things without the pretense. Plus, we're serving these desserts the way they should be – made with care, not pulled from a freezer case.
