Square Deal's basic wine and cheese classes are intimate, about 14 people, and they spend our time talking with you about why they love this business. They'll give you some insight into how and why they source, import, sell, and talk about wine the way they do. They'll pair the wines with 4-5 cheeses from Steve's and wax poetic. The cost is a mere $20 per person which is fully waived if you buy any full or mixed case that evening. You'll be greeted with a glass of bubbly and it only gets better from there. They'll taste 6-8 wines and you'll leave knowing something more than you did when you arrived. Reservations are necessary so please call (503) 226-9463 to sign up.
