A very fun evening getting to know our new instructors while pairing all of our instructors with a wine (or beer) that matched their personality. Potential students got a chance to chat with the SilverWorks faculty and get a peek at some of the samples from upcoming classes. Not to mention have some wine.

New students got to see Vincent’s treatment of Blacksmithing techniques for the Silversmith, Nichelle’s fantastic Chainmaille, Ruth’s beaded creations, and Robert’s Sand Casting. And us instructors that have been around for awhile showed off some of our workshop samples too. What fun!

 

As to the wine pairings...
Nichelle: Risata Moscato D’Asti
Bright and delightful, brings joy to any occasion.
Ruth: Sparkling Cider
Bubbly and fun, light hearted with a hint of sweet.
Vincent: Boston Lager
Complex but approachable, smooth with a great head.
Mawadda: Sparkling Cranberry
An effervescent personality that is sure to lift your spirits. Sweet with a hint of spice and an intelligent finish.
Blair: Purple Cowboy, Tenacious Red
A weird blend with peppery notes and a burst of fruit and earth. A spirited finish.
Robert: Old Vine Zin (Boggle)
Big and bold with tons of experience. Pairs well with anything. Finishes smooth.
Helena: Chardonnay
Starts crisp and clean, evolves into complex tones with an intelligent finish.
