SUMMARY:At The Table: Summer Wines + Simple Bites
DESCRIPTION:At The Table: Summer Wines + Simple Bites brings together seasonal wines\, chef-driven small bites\, and coastal summer atmosphere for an intimate tasting event on May 14 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Windie’s. Built around easy-drinking spring and summer wines\, the evening focuses less on formal wine culture and more on relaxed conversation\, food pairing\, and discovering bottles meant for warm-weather gatherings. \nThe guided tasting is led by Kylie Sarosi\, who will introduce guests to a curated lineup of crisp whites\, rosés\, and versatile reds selected for casual seasonal sipping. Alongside the wines\, attendees will sample a collection of bites created by Chef Olivia Ferraro of Nana’s Westerly\, pairing fresh flavors and lighter dishes with the tasting selections. Guests will also receive a discount toward purchasing featured wines after the event. \nWhat makes the evening stand out is its intentionally approachable atmosphere. Rather than turning wine into something overly technical or intimidating\, the event leans into the pleasures of sharing good food\, discovering new favorites\, and slowing down for a couple of hours with friends. The oceanside-inspired setting and seasonal focus give the tasting a distinctly shoreline feel that fits naturally into the rhythm of spring turning toward summer in southeastern Connecticut. \n

SUMMARY:Whiskey\, Bourbon\, and Scotch at Kitch Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Whiskey\, Bourbon\, and Scotch at Kitch Mystic offers a guided deep dive into the world of aged spirits\, with an evening focused on whiskey education\, tasting\, and cocktail history. Designed for both experienced whiskey drinkers and curious newcomers\, the class explores Scotch\, Bourbon\, Irish whiskey\, and rye through guided tastings led by acclaimed mixologist and spirits educator Anthony Caporale. \nGuests will learn how to properly taste and evaluate whiskey while sampling a curated lineup that includes Dewar’s White Label Scotch\, Laphroaig 10 Single Malt Scotch\, Green Spot Irish Whiskey\, South County Bourbon\, and Litchfield Straight Rye. Alongside the tastings\, Caporale walks participants through the history\, production\, and science behind whiskey-making\, helping demystify a category that can often feel intimidating to casual drinkers. Spencer and Lynn Wine and Spirit Merchants in downtown Mystic provide spirits for the class. \nWhat sets the evening apart is Caporale’s blend of education and entertainment. Known for creating The Imbible series of long-running Off-Broadway musicals about cocktail history\, he brings storytelling\, humor\, and deep industry knowledge into the experience rather than presenting it like a formal lecture. Participants also receive access to an exclusive after-class shopping event with 15% off purchases\, turning the evening into part tasting class\, part social event\, and part whiskey appreciation workshop. \nSEO Description (160 characters max):
