Merlot Plus EVOO


Pairing a red wine with beef? Beginner stuff. Pinot Gris with salmon? Fill ’er up. A big chunk of runny Brie or a thin slice of nutty Graddost? Hmm. How about olive oil? Huh? If you understand that it’s more about a food’s flavor profile than the actual food, then pairing the perfect wine is a cinch. Certified sommelier Joyce DeNeal and Marianne Prey, owner of Extra Virgin, An Olive Ovation, know all about it. Join the duo at Prey’s oasis of olive oil on Sunday, when they’ll delve into an international selection of wines, olive oils and cheeses while comparing, contrasting and pairing the flavor profiles of all three foods. Cheez Whiz? You’re on your own.
