Old World vs. New World: Wine Styles of Today

Old World vs. New World:
Wine Styles of Today

Join Executive Chef Ivy Magruder for our April four-course themed dinner, which includes a tour of the Museum galleries. You’ll experience a selection of fine wines, comparing old-world European grapes with their newer American varietals, each paired perfectly with one sumptuous course.

 Your wine-tasting journey will be led by Mike Ward, wine educator and owner of the wine consulting firm Ward on Wine. Mike completed certification at the Napa Valley Wine Educators Academy. His passion and expertise has led him to become a member of the Society of Wine Educators, and to share his knowledge through the development of wine certification training courses. Mike has just launched wardonwine.com, an interactive website devoted to wine lovers.

 Art at the Table starts at 7:00 pm with your guided tour. Diners will be seated in Panorama at 7:30 pm. To make reservations, call 314.655.5490.
