The Sommeliers Table

Chef Nicole Bissonette and Sommelier Simon Barrios are proud to announce the start of this season's wine classes. Set in a relaxed atmosphere, Chef Nicole and Simon are putting their passion and years of experience on the table and in the glass!

10 wines are expertly matched with 5 appetizer plates. Each wine is tasted “blind”, in other words, you do not know what is in your glass till after you have tasted. This is done to avoid any preconceptions and to stimulate thought and discussion. After the wines have been evaluated the labels are revealed. Each wine is chosen to highlight the many nuances of the world’s grapes and growing regions, every plate is prepared to harmoniously blend with the diverse flavors of the wines.

Chef Nicole is a passionate devotee of great cuisine and wine. During her studies at the Cordon Bleu in Paris, she received two oenological certificates as well as her Grande Diploma.

Simon is currently studying within the Master Sommelier program of the Court of Master Sommeliers and hopes to complete his advanced level exam this year.

The first two classes were sold out weeks in advance. Seats are still available for upcoming classes. Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy the creative cuisine of Chef Nicole in this special format.

All wines poured during the class are available for special order purchase at friendly prices after the tasting. Private classes and degustation menus are available through the catering services of Bistro 157.
