Iron’s Wine Curious Club

Wine with Food, or Food with Wine; which goes first? I guess it depends on how hungry you are. It also depends on how you view wine. Most people plan a dinner (food) and then attempt to pair wine with it. The wine geeks out there tend to do the opposite; pick out a treasured bottle and then attempt to pair the food to the wine.I actually find that picking the wine first is easier.One of our local Sommeliers is adept at both approaches. Hilary Towns, the Certified Somm and founder of Restaurant Iron’s Wine Curious Club, has been pushing the envelope of Pensacola’s Wine Culture for several years.Her approach, backed by the great cuisine of Iron, has its foundation in Curiosity. Her Wine Curious Club meets once a month at Iron with a class that highlights a different region.  She covers what makes that region’s wine unique and why a particular wine goes with a particular food.You don’t have to be a club member to go, but you do have to rsvp by either calling Iron or checking out their website. For the Wine Curious it is definitely something worth exploring.
