Classic pairings class planned for NYW&CC

Champagne with oysters, Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese, Port with bittersweet chocolate ... and, the list of classic wine and food pairings goes on.

To get some professional tips on how to pair, what to pair, and why to pair, the New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua is offering a class that will allow participants to sample six classic wine and food pairings "to see if they are truly extraordinary or in need of a makeover."

The class is set for 2 to 4 p.m. this Saturday, with required reservations priced at $40 per person. The Wine & Culinary Center is located lakeside at 800 South Main Street. Phone: (585) 394-707.
