Our Passover seders are filled to the brim with wine – four cups of wine, Elijah’s cup of wine, drops of wine representing the plagues – but are we really taking the time to appreciate the “fruit of the vine?” Learn how to pick out the appearance, palate, nose, and characteristics of quality wines in a special tasting led by sommelier and 20s & 30s Central member Michelle Aspis. Chocolate and cheese pairings will be provided.

Michelle Aspis is a new Central member originally from Southern California, now living in Brooklyn. She lived in Italy for many years where she received her Masters in Italian Gastronomy. Most recently, she received her WSET 2 (wine and spirits education trust) certification, graduating with distinction. She is passionate about wine from all over the world and is looking forward to sharing her wine tasting knowledge and techniques with you! When she’s not tasting wine, she’s probably training for a half marathon, cooking a delicious meal, or doing stand-up comedy.
