Pesto Making Class at Little Ridge Farm!

Join Nikaline and the folks at Little Ridge Farm for a class exploring the versatile world of pesto! Pesto alla Genovese (basil and pine nuts) is the most well known example, but the buck doesn’t stop there! We like to think of pesto as a template, allowing for infinite variations that account for personal preference and ingredient availability. Utilizing farmed and foraged ingredients from Little Ridge, you’ll explore the template, learn the essentials and make your very own custom pesto to take home!

Workshop is $45 per person which includes instruction, a sampling of pestos and other assorted snacks, and your very own pesto creation. Drinks will be available for purchase a la carte.

Cocktail Class: Martinis at Curtis Memorial

What better topic to explore in the iconic and historic Art and Architecture room of the 1904 building at the Curtis Memorial Library? That’s right, we will be teaching this class AT the library!!! The martini is surely the most mentioned cocktail in classic literature, and also likely the most imbibed cocktail by the authors themselves.  From the classic Vesper martini of James Bond in Casino Royale to the White Angel in Breakfast at Tiffanys, we’ve got a lot of material to unpack here!

Join us as we recreate classic martini recipes, and hone in on what your perfect martini might be, all while eating some tasty snacks and sipping on your creations -  in the LIBRARY! 

$65 per person!  Limited space available! Call the Vine to sign up.

Free Wine Tasting - Canny Can Cans

Hey!  How about that heat wave we just had huh? Did you get out on the water? Did you go to the beach or a river or a lake? You know what’s great to bring to such venues? CANNED WINE. Have some preconceived notions about the quality of the wine you find in cans? Well, we hope to dispel some of those stereotypes in this tasting.  Canned wine is delicious, environmentally friendly, user friendly, and just darn perfect for summer in Maine.  We will have six options open for you to try - two whites, two reds, and two wild cards!

These cans are not messing around!  It’s really good juice!  Come taste through them, and stock up for Fourth of July weekend… And, even though they are cans, we are still going to offer you 10% off when you get 6+ more cans/bottles, on the night of the tasting only!
