About this Event

As the nights grow long and the air takes on a wintery chill, there’s nothing quite like the rich comfort of fortified wines to warm the spirit. Join Justin for an indulgent evening exploring the world of sherry, port, and other fortified classics, each paired with carefully chosen cheeses to showcase their depth and complexity.

From nutty, caramelized sherries to bold, velvety ports, these wines carry centuries of tradition and a festive richness that feels perfectly at home in December. Together, we’ll uncover their history, their unique methods of production, and the ways they elevate and are elevated by cheese.

This class is more than a tasting—it’s an invitation to slow down and savor the season. Whether you’re gathering with friends, treating yourself, or seeking inspiration for holiday hosting, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the soulful, warming pleasures of fortified wines and the timeless companionship of cheese.
