Wine
The lifeblood of Astor, the nectar of the gods, Bacchus's drink of choice. We wouldn't be here if it weren't
for this mystical juice, and as such, we plan to devote a good deal of time to its study. (There may be some drinking involved, too.)
Perfect Pairings
Wine and cheese? Oh, but that's only the beginning! Explore the magical flavor combinations
of Scotch and chocolate; beer and bacon; saké and scallops; Champagne and caviar...
Beer
While Astor Wines & Spirits isn't allowed to sell the stuff, that doesn't mean we can't learn about
the brew upstairs! From beginner beer drinking to mastering the micro-brews to pairing hops with haggis - come raise a pint with us at
Astor Center.
Hands-On Learning
It's all well and good to watch the pros at work, but there's no better way to learn than to roll up your
sleeves and do it yourself. Grab an apron and head to the Kitchen for some up close and personal encounters of the edible (and
drinkable) kind.

Bulk up your resume, broaden your transferable skills, beef up your industry credentials! These classes, panels,
