Wine Experts?!

For the first event of 2009, gsSCENE took a different approach and combined a social with an educational aspect. For 60 lucky gsSCENErs we got to experience different types of wine with different types of food. We were hosted by WaterScapes Restaurant in the Marinna Inn. The seminar titled, "Cause & Effect," had us eating foods of different flavors and then tasting red and white wines to see if the food had a good, "active," effect or a bad, "reactive," effect on the wine. While some attendees could indeed taste the diffence, others found their palettes weren't quite as sophisticated. Either way, we enjoyed learning the helpful hints of pairing wine and food and look forward to sharing our knowledge with others as they sip their vino.
