About This Event

Join us to taste wines featured in the book "Big Macs and Burgundy: Wine Pairings for the Real World" by Vanessa Price!

Big Macs & Burgundy:

Sancerre and Cheetos go together like milk and cookies. The science behind this unholy alliance is as elemental as acid, fat, salt, and minerals. Wine pro Vanessa Price explains how to create your own pairings while proving you don’t necessarily need fancy foods to unlock the joys of wine. Building upon the outsize success of her weekly column in Grub Street, Price offers delightfully bold wine and food pairings alongside hilarious tales from her own unlikely journey as a Kentucky girl making it in the Big Apple and in the wine business.

Using language everyone can understand, she reveals why each dynamic duo is a match made in heaven, serving up memorable takeaways that will help you navigate any wine list or local bottle shop. Charmingly illustrated and bubbling with personality, Big Macs & Burgundy will open your mind to the entirely fun and entirely accessible wine pairings out there waiting to be discovered—and make you do a few spit-takes along the way.

Book Club Wine Tasting:

At this tasting, we will discuss the pairings while trying out six described in the book with snack-sized servings.

We're partnering with our friends Old Town Books for this event. Please visit their shop to pick up your copy of the book!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
  • Tasting of six wine pairings featured in Big Macs & Burgundy
  • Small snack-sized servings of pairings described in the book
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted


** While we absolutely recommend reading this fantastic book, this tasting will not require the reading beforehand. These stories will be summarized with the tastings **
