I’ve never been one to worry about proper wine pairings. Whether it’s steak or fish, a sunny afternoon or a cozy night in, pretty much any wine will do, in my (uneducated) opinion. Lately, however, I figured I should learn more about the types of wines I’m drinking in order to make more informed choices.
So when I learned about the Fox School of Wine, a wine education school that hosts classes and events in Park City, I was intrigued. The Weekend Wine Series class sounded like the perfect way to kick off an evening with a friend visiting from out of town. I decided to sign us up for the reasonable rate of $34 per person, and we headed out to kick off our evening with some delicious wines.

Park City has many attributes: year-round outdoor recreation, fantastic restaurants, and two ski resorts — just to name a few. But outside of the annual Sundance Film Festival, our picturesque mountain town is not often thought of as a Hollywood hot spot.
