Tis the season for holiday parties. Come learn from Nugget Market’s wine expert what wines will work best with your appetizers and dishes at your party.

Nugget wine steward Michael Taylor and specialty cheese manager Jaclyn Neff will give a presentation on how to pair your wine in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Have a chance to sample some wine and appetizers and see for yourself why different wines work so well with certain foods.

The wine and cheese experts bring years of experience to the table. Taylor worked as a chef for 17 years and has a vast experience in winemaker dinners and selecting wines for his restaurant’s wine list.
