Say what? Yes, it’s time to challenge those nippy nights with some fabulous fondue made by Fondue Cowboy, and find out which wines are the best pairing with this lip-smacking, belly warming treat. Let’s just say it’s a different kind of smack down. It’s USA against France!

First up: local bubbly versus Champagne. Other favored players in the line-up include: local Chasselas (a classic fondue contender), the infamous Vin Jaune, venerable Armagnac versus local Port, and more regional strikers! Who will lead? Come solo, with a friend, love, or both. It’s guaranteed to be a good game.

Special guest: Local wine maker Bill Wertzberger pouring & talking about his local Chasselas, the original Swiss fondue wine grape.

Fondue catered by Fondue Cowboy.  Serving up:
1) "The Traditional" fondue made from Gruyere (paired with Chasselas),
2) "The Stage Coach" fondue made from Comte (paired with Vin Jaune),
3) "The Outlaw" cheddar & jalapeno fondue (paired with Syrah),
4) ending with Chocolate fondue (paired with Armagnac & local Port)

This is a good chance to taste & pick out a unique gift bottle to share over the Holidays!
