What do oysters, seafood, and wines have in common? Complex flavors, the Old World and the New, cultural touchstones, aphrodisia, and a connection between taste and place.

In wine, textures and flavors that come from specific growing regions are called terroir. For bivalve aficionados, merroir is the equivalent concept, one that our experts will explore in this dinner.

Seated in our retail location with the full attention of our expert wine buyer and chef, the evening will begin with a flight of oysters that Chef Julian will procure from a local farm. A long time oyster lover and expert, Julian will not rest until he finds a unique varietal for you.

After that, prepare yourself for his Ecuadorian ceviche. An avid surfer, Julian has tried ceviches throughout Latin America, and you'll be treated to his favorite.

With your appetite whet, we will start to warm things up with a heartier seafood and pasta course.

As always, our wine expert, Aidan, will be partnering to ensure outstanding pairings with each of these courses.

Our evening will come to a bright and refreshing end with a citrus dessert to cleanse your palate, along with a little irresistible chocolate.

At this premiere class, a maximum of 14 guests will receive the best that Formaggio Kitchen has to offer.

We hope you will join us as we transition from the tastes of summer to fall and its cozier evenings and sumptuous dishes.
