Wine expert Eric Nielsen will introduce participants to the basics of wine tasting and food/wine pairing in an exciting, interactive, two-part series at Westminster College. Neilsen has over 25 years of upscale restaurant experience. A Utah native, he has spent much of his time working for the locally owned Gastronomy Inc.
