Parties That Cook and CRUSHPAD invite you to Cooking Crush, an evening of wine tasting and cooking for singles.
Admission includes wine tasting and pairing with a menu of international appetizers.
Cooking Crush guests will be greeted with a nibble, nametag and glass
of wine. A tour of the winery will follow, including explanation of key
steps in the winemaking process. Singles will mix and mingle over a
series of comparative barrel tastings from Crushpad’s library of
ultra-premium wines. Each Cooking Crush event will explore a unique
wine-tasting theme, such as the wines of the Russian River Valley or
blind tasting Rhone whites.
Guests will then be treated to a lively introductory cooking lesson by the Parties That Cook chefs featuring tips such as the fastest way to dice an onion without a tear. Singles will be split into co-ed teams to work on an array of sumptuous small plates designed to pair with the wines being tasted. Each team will work on a recipe from the evening's tapas menu, all while sipping wine and listening to upbeat music. The group will savor the fruits of their labor with new friends, or perhaps a crush! After the event, copies of the recipes, digital photos and e-mail address aliases will be sent to the group.
