Entertaining 101 & Wine Tasting

June 10, 2021 @ 7:00 pm 9:00 pm

Is it an appetizer or an hors d’oeuvre? The two words are used interchangeably, but they serve two different purposes. The short of it is…An appetizer is the first course served when seated at a table with a multi-course dinner to follow. An hors d’oeuvre is a small item served before dinner (often accompanied by cocktails) and served as a “finger food” that can be eaten while standing and mingling. This evening will be a demonstration class where Caitlin of Fit to Entertain will prepare and serve a mix of some of her favorite hors d’oeuvres, each paired with a clean-crafted wine. You will learn tips and tricks for entertaining with time to ask questions during the class. To wrap it up, you will each receive an email with what was discussed during class with pertinent links (if needed) and recipes. Class is limited to 10 people and Cost is $50/person. RSVP: 770-587-4244

MENU WILL BE PUBLISHED SOON
