About This Event

With winter arriving, it’s time for some stick-to-your-ribs, red-wine-friendly fare. The French dish cassoulet is hearty and pairs beautifully with Cabernet, so chefs Brian and Josh will guide you step by step through this classic dish, then build out the menu with other French-inspired, Cabernet-friendly dishes.
