Wine Tasting at West Baden Springs Hotel (West Baden)

8:00 pm
Phone: 888-936-9360
www.frenchlick.com

The West Baden Springs Hotel Wine Tasting event is a must for those who enjoy wine and even those who don’t. Unless you were born in Italy, France or California, wine feels complicated. Either you know something about grapes and varietals or you don’t. They can be intimidating. Whether you enjoy a glass every now and then or have dedicated a portion of your basement as a wine cellar, this is a fun and interesting event—perhaps the chance to do something a little out of your comfort zone. Hosted by Derrick Miller, Assistant Food & Beverage Manager and Sous Chef, Ryan West, both red and white, that are paired with interesting and sometimes unusual hors d’oeuvres. They expertly shuffle from one course to the next with genuine enthusiasm for the art and science of coupling superior wines with exotic hors d’oeuvres, like wild boar chops and blueberry compote with a dark berry and hint of roasted game petite sirah—for instance. The experience of ingredients skillfully combined to complement one another is palate-changing. Gathered in front of the Rookwood Pottery fireplace under the watchful eyes of Sprudel, this wine tasting event is also the opportunity to relive a little of the history that built this grand hotel

Wine Tasting at West Baden Springs Hotel (West Baden)

8:00 pm
Phone: 888-936-9360
www.frenchlick.com

The West Baden Springs Hotel Wine Tasting event is a must for those who enjoy wine and even those who don’t. Unless you were born in Italy, France or California, wine feels complicated. Either you know something about grapes and varietals or you don’t. They can be intimidating. Whether you enjoy a glass every now and then or have dedicated a portion of your basement as a wine cellar, this is a fun and interesting event—perhaps the chance to do something a little out of your comfort zone. Hosted by Derrick Miller, Assistant Food & Beverage Manager and Sous Chef, Ryan West, both red and white, that are paired with interesting and sometimes unusual hors d’oeuvres. They expertly shuffle from one course to the next with genuine enthusiasm for the art and science of coupling superior wines with exotic hors d’oeuvres, like wild boar chops and blueberry compote with a dark berry and hint of roasted game petite sirah—for instance. The experience of ingredients skillfully combined to complement one another is palate-changing. Gathered in front of the Rookwood Pottery fireplace under the watchful eyes of Sprudel, this wine tasting event is also the opportunity to relive a little of the history that built this grand hotel.

Wine Tasting at West Baden Springs Hotel (West Baden)

8:00 pm
Phone: 888-936-9360
www.frenchlick.com

The West Baden Springs Hotel Wine Tasting event is a must for those who enjoy wine and even those who don’t. Unless you were born in Italy, France or California, wine feels complicated. Either you know something about grapes and varietals or you don’t. They can be intimidating. Whether you enjoy a glass every now and then or have dedicated a portion of your basement as a wine cellar, this is a fun and interesting event—perhaps the chance to do something a little out of your comfort zone. Hosted by Derrick Miller, Assistant Food & Beverage Manager and Sous Chef, Ryan West, both red and white, that are paired with interesting and sometimes unusual hors d’oeuvres. They expertly shuffle from one course to the next with genuine enthusiasm for the art and science of coupling superior wines with exotic hors d’oeuvres, like wild boar chops and blueberry compote with a dark berry and hint of roasted game petite sirah—for instance. The experience of ingredients skillfully combined to complement one another is palate-changing. Gathered in front of the Rookwood Pottery fireplace under the watchful eyes of Sprudel, this wine tasting event is also the opportunity to relive a little of the history that built this grand hotel.

Wine Tasting at West Baden Springs Hotel (West Baden)

8:00 pm
Phone: 888-936-9360
www.frenchlick.com

The West Baden Springs Hotel Wine Tasting event is a must for those who enjoy wine and even those who don’t. Unless you were born in Italy, France or California, wine feels complicated. Either you know something about grapes and varietals or you don’t. They can be intimidating. Whether you enjoy a glass every now and then or have dedicated a portion of your basement as a wine cellar, this is a fun and interesting event—perhaps the chance to do something a little out of your comfort zone. Hosted by Derrick Miller, Assistant Food & Beverage Manager and Sous Chef, Ryan West, both red and white, that are paired with interesting and sometimes unusual hors d’oeuvres. They expertly shuffle from one course to the next with genuine enthusiasm for the art and science of coupling superior wines with exotic hors d’oeuvres, like wild boar chops and blueberry compote with a dark berry and hint of roasted game petite sirah—for instance. The experience of ingredients skillfully combined to complement one another is palate-changing. Gathered in front of the Rookwood Pottery fireplace under the watchful eyes of Sprudel, this wine tasting event is also the opportunity to relive a little of the history that built this grand hotel.
