Do you enjoy Indian cuisine? Do you like New York? Do you drink wine? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, this class is for you!
We have expanded this class to include more wine and more food pairings! This time we tackle Indian fare with New York wines. You heard me right, we have an expert Chef in Indian cuisine which will be a terrific pairing with the cool climate wines of the Finger Lakes. We will use all our senses in this class to showcase food and strive toward wine pairing perfection.
Have you ever felt intimidated by wine? Choosing a wine to go with your dinner make you nervous? This class will also give you some easy guidelines to look as if you know something about wine, even if you don't.
We will cover topics such as:
Going to or hosting a party?
What type of wine should you bring/have?
How to order off a restaurant wine list
How to hold a wine glass
How to identify what you like (or don't) about wine Tips to pair your wine and food
You'll be able to ask anything about wine and get helpful tips to pick the perfect wine to go with any situation.
We will taste at least four great value wines from New York featuring the Finger Lakes (think wines like Riesling) that you can enjoy all summer. In addition, Chef Mahima will prepare, present and provide three perfectly paired noshes of Indian fare. All food will be gluten free as well!!!
With these nuggets of knowledge, you'll be in the coolest wine-nerd in the room!
You must be 21 years or older to attend, bring photo ID. Before class, feel free to email me your personal wine experiences so we can use them as discussion points in this session.

Mahima Santhanam- Mahima learned to cook from her mother who stressed the importance of organic yet simple, flavorful meals – like the ones she grew up eating in India. In her classes, she takes traditional recipes from her mother’s kitchen and makes them accessible for everyone to make. After moving to New York City several years ago, Mahima fell in love with all the best restaurants, farmers markets and cuisines the city offers. She noticed, however, that while there are many different cooking classes in the city, none of the classes break down Indian cooking to make it simple for anyone to whip up a great meal on a whim.
