We're pleased to announce that after a short hiatus, Parish Wine Tastings are back with a new format and a fresh face! Please join us in welcoming our new wine educator, Elizabeth Schneider,* who will be doing our monthly tastings at Parish. Our first tasting will be Wednesday, March 3rd at 7 PM.


Here are the details on the event:

From Beautiful Burgundies to their Californian Counterparts
Getting to Know Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Around the World


Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the great wines of Burgundy...and they're not slouches from the US either. Do you love them or hate them? Or are you not sure? These wines are chameleons so it can sometimes be hard to make a blanket statement about what you like or don't like. Growing in different regions and in different winemakers' hands they can taste like they are made from completely different stuff.

So, before professing unwavering love of California Chardonnay or a loathing of all French wines, let's first take a closer look at a few Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. In this tasting we'll talk about how to evaluate a wine like the pros so you can pinpoint what you like and don't like about the wine specifically. Then we'll use this skill to discuss these two amazingly complex grapes in great depth.

Learning the similarities and differences in the wines, and helping you figure out the characteristics you like will get you set up for a new appreciation of the varietals and prepare you to explore new regions and wine styles when you're next out with your friends or shopping for wines at the liquor store.


Wines and Cost: $25 will cover three high-end Pinot Noirs and two Chardonnays served with the Chef's assortment of Charcuterie from the Market at Parish.

If you're interested in attending the tasting, please call us at 404.681.4434 to reserve seats, as space is limited

We look forward to seeing you at Parish on Wednesday!
