Knit & Sip

Welcome all beginners, dabblers, hard-core knitters crocheters.

The Knit and Sip isn’t a class per se but more of a gathering.  The plan is to rendezvous the first Monday of each month at The Pip.

If you’re knit-curious or think you want to knit – heck, yes, join us!  You can watch others knit and get some pointers from those who are more seasoned.  If you’re a knitter who has a ½ finished project in a drawer somewhere (we know you do!) this is your sign to bring it in and work on it!

  • Entrance for indoor portraits will be the front door; entrance for outdoor portraits will be through the alley behind The Pip

Ca' del Baio Winery - A Taste of Barbaresco

Ciao!

Please join us as we welcome Ca’ del Baio winery from Piedmont, Italy to The Pip!  Ca’ del Baio is a family owned and operated winery from the Barbaresco region within Piedmont and many of the wine we will taste are based on the Nebbiolo grape.  The Nebbiolo grape is considered one of the regal grapes of Italy – dare I say, a “benevolent king who rules with a soft voice.”

Stylistically, Ca’ del Baio wines are renowned for their balance, elegance and value. They effortlessly convey the unique details of each grape variety while maintaining each wine’s sense of place in clear focus.

For those of you who are fans of Lucidity Imports’ Giuseppe LoCascio – you must join us – this is one of his wineries. 

$55pp for the tasting.

Steve Matthiasson and Jill Klein Matthiasson Presentation and Tasting

It is quite an honor to have Steve Matthiasson and Jill Klein Matthiasson lead a class at The Pip.  Both Steve and Jill are extraordinarily knowledgeable about so much having to do with farming:  from soil types, organic farming, native plants, international grapes, winemaking to preparing food from the garden and orchard. For our class, the main thread will be their philosophy on organic farming and winemaking and of course, we’ll taste several of their wines.  This is an incredible opportunity to learn from the leaders and taste their phenomenal, benchmark Napa wines.

Tickets are $85pp

Winemaker Takeover: Kenny Likitprakong of Hobo Wines

WOW!  What a treat.  It’s been a dream of ours to highlight Kenny’s wines.  Amy worked with the wines in pre-Pip days and we’ve had a few of his wines off and on but now is the time for THE BIG ONE.

Please join us in welcoming winemakers Kenny Likitprakong and his partner, Lynn Wheeler, to The Pip to taste through five of their wines.  The wines will speak for themselves but let us wax poetic about Kenny & Lynn.  First of all, they do the right things for the right reasons.  They walk the walk.  They work closely with their farmers.  They support their community in a multitude of ways.  They are family oriented.  They make fabulous wines!  Their fabulous wines are incredibly affordable.  They OVERDELIVER, in so many ways.

Come out, taste and enjoy!

The tasting of 5 wines is $15 pp.  No reservations necessary – just purchase your tasting ticket when you come in.
