Cozy Con South
2024-10-12 10:00 - 16:00 | Fearrington Barn, 500 Market Street, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Come out for a day of panels investigating the softer side of crime at the Fearrington Barn for McIntyre’s first-ever Cozy Con South on Saturday, October 12, 10am-4pm. Meet your favorite cozy mystery artists and enjoy mingling with other cozy fans. For those not necessarily familiar with the term cozy, they are a sub-section of mystery in which the grittier actions are not the focus of the book, the detective is an amateur sleuth, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community.
Books will be available for purchase at the event, and authors will sign after the panels. Featured authors include:

Ellery Adams
Winnie Archer
Valerie Burns
Lynn Cahoon
Colleen Cambridge
Maya Corrigan
Traci Hall (aka Traci Wilton)
Darci Hannah
Lee Hollis
Roz Noonan

Doors open at 10am and the event begins at 10:30am. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased here. This event is co-sponsored by Kensington Books Publishing. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. See more events at Fearrington Village.

For Fearrington’s Fall Series Wine Class, they are delving into single-grape varietals and how they express themselves from different locations all around the world.

The September class starts with Sauvignon Blanc, where you will explore examples from New Zealand, California, Bordeaux, Sancerre, and beyond!

The Basics of Food and Wine Pairing
2024-10-30 18:00 - 19:00 | Vino!! Wine Shop, 89 Hillsboro Street, Suite A, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Vino!!’s next Wine Education 101 Class, The Basics of Food and Wine Pairing, will take place Wed, Oct 30, 6pm-7pm. Level II Sommelier Dom DeCastro will walk you through choosing the right wine for the right meal.
Though challenging, knowledge of food and wine pairings can change a great dining experience into a spectacular one! To make proper food and wine pairings, one must understand how the characteristics of a dish play a role in making memorable wine pairings – and vice versa. Wine flavors are derived from specific components: sugar, acid, fruit, tannin, and alcohol. Foods also have flavor components, such as fat, acid, salt, sugar, and bitter. The most successful food and wine pairings feature complementary components, richness, and textures.
At this seminar, Dom DeCastro will teach you the basic skills of food and wine pairing through an interactive tasting of several wines paired with dishes prepared by local chef Robin Hamilton. The seminar will also include food and wine combos that do not work as a way to help illustrate the importance of food and wine pairing rules. If you are interested in learning more about food and wine pairings and want to walk away with the ability to impress at your next dining outing, reserve your spot for this seminar by calling 919.542.3922 or email anna@vinowineshopnc.com. Space is limited to 46 people. The cost is $40 per person and includes admission to the class (a tasting of six wines and a plate of food to pair with them) plus one pre-selected bottle of wine to take home with you.
