Wine & Pizza Night

It's been a minute since we've done an event!  Let's have one more night together and what better way than with pizza involved?

When it comes to wine pairings for pizza, the possibilities are endless. Are you eating a classic New York City slice? Or Chicago deep dish? New Haven Apizza? What about the toppings?  Given the Neapolitan origins of pizza, the “grows together, goes together” rule might suggest pairing your pizza pie, slice, or nonna square with wines from Campania. Or, an Italian bottling at the very least, but those are hardly your only options.

During this event, we will explore the endless possibilities and the symbiotic relationship between pizza and wine.

Fire in the Kitchen is on deck to cook up an array of their delicious personal pies for all attendees to enjoy in as many styles as you can consume.  Alongside, we'll be sampling a flight of 5 wines to be announced soon.

Flights of wine will be curated by Small Batch Cellars.  I am excited for you all to see this place and try their wines.

Small Batch Cellars is a craft micro-winery that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in April 2022. It was founded by business partners Kristen Parsons and Michael Annatone. Parsons has been a professional winemaker for over 15 years. She worked at several wineries and vineyards in Washington State and Virginia before becoming the head winemaker at Chamard Vineyards in Clinton in 2015. Annatone is an entrepreneur, wine lover, and founder of several landscaping companies including Executive Landscaping and Naturally Green. The two formed a partnership and started creating their own small-batch vintages. By the summer of 2020, the two decided to open their own winery, and Small Batch Cellars was born.

Wines from the evening will be available to purchase for consumption or to bring home that night.  No more waiting for us to call you to let you know that your order is ready.

This will be Wine 101 Hamden's final event of 2023.
