About this Event
What is Sake? How is sake made? What are the main styles? What are the most important key words? How does it pair with food? How should it be stored? How does one taste it? Understanding sake and sake terms is somewhat overwhelming. Let’s dive in and learn to enjoy the complexity while simplifying and understanding this amazing drink. We will be tasting and discussing 6 different sakes!
“Let’s Drink!”
Join Chris Spinks* as he shares his love and experience with sake!
