Explore the Iberian Peninsula: Pinxos & Fortifieds

You asked, we listened!  One of the most requested Cooks of Crocus Hill class ideas was for Chef Mike Shannon and Sommelier Leslee Miller to teach a class on Spanish Pintxos, paired to Iberian fortifieds (think sherry, port and Madeira). Well, you got your wish! This magical class will showcase those Iberian gems with a can’t-miss Spanish menu that integrates classic flavors with innovative approaches. 

Buckle up as if you’re flying with us to the regions!  

Having spent time amongst these fortified regions, sip with Leslee as you learn the basics of fortified wines from: Vermouth, Sherry, Port to Madeira.  Chef Mike will take you through the culinary side while noshing on a few classic, and not so classic, Iberian bites (tapas) from a variety of the same regions.  Best part, you’ll learn how to make these easy eats at home for your next Spanish themed party, while learning exactly how to pair them!

Menu: Spanish Antipasti; Fig and Arugula Salad with Anchovy Vinaigrette; Sherry-Glazed Pork Belly; Rustic Pear Tart with Gorgonzola and Walnut.
