There's no better way to welcome the holiday season than with the pop of a cork. Sparkling wine turns any gathering into a celebration, and paired with the right bites, it's the secret to effortless, unforgettable holiday entertaining. Join Chefs Nancy Waldeck and Crystal Leach for a festive food and wine pairing evening of delicious small plates matched with sparkling wines from around the world.
In this demonstration class, you'll watch Chef Nancy and Chef Crystal prepare creative, approachable bites designed for holiday parties, from crowd-pleasing appetizers to make-ahead desserts. Along the way, they'll share tips for choosing sparkling wines for every occasion and budget, serving bubbles at their best, and pairing them with both sweet and savory flavors. You'll leave with a collection of easy party recipes and the confidence to host a sparkling holiday gathering of your own.
