Nick & Toni’s is excited to announce the return of #WineWednesday Workshops in collaboration with Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits. Spearheaded by Honest Man Hospitality beverage director and certified sommelier Chimene Visser Macnaughton, the all-levels workshops feature certification-level seminars designed around tasting flights with a designated theme. Held each Wednesday through May 10th from 5:30 – 7 p.m., classes are $35 per class in advance, and the ticket includes a welcome party with salad, pizza, or other small plates from Nick & Toni’s kitchen. Tasting sheets and crystal stemware will also be provided. Guests who book all six weeks will be entered to win a seat at Nick & Toni’s #ROSÉALLDAY wine pairing dinner on Thursday, June 8, 2023.
"Wine education programming is personal for me, and these all-levels workshops are the professional accomplishment for which I am most proud. Begun in 2002 as an industry-only tasting group hosted at my restaurant in Sun Valley, the idea followed me here to Long Island. When we opened Wainscott Main Wine & Spirits in 2014, I re-launched these tasting seminars for our whole east end community as #WineWednesday Workshops. Each spring and fall, expert speakers come to us from all walks of the wine industry. Winemakers, importers, sommeliers, and wine educators generously share their knowledge and experience through flights of wines that are meaningful to them. In 2022, classes moved to our restaurants in East Hampton Village. Now in our 9th year of collaboration with Wainscott Main, I'm thrilled to gather again starting April 5th with our Grand (tasting) Cru in the back dining room at Nick & Toni's. See you at the tasting tables!" shares event founder Chimene Visser Macnaughton.
