Micro Class: Mustard—History, Craft, Tasting, and Pairings, $50

Explore mustard's history and craft through a guided tasting of styles. Most of us keep a jar of mustard in the fridge and never think twice about it — but mustard has a surprisingly rich history and a lot more nuance than it gets credit for. In this hands-on tasting class, we'll dig into how mustard is made, the difference between yellow, brown, and black seeds, and why Dijon, whole-grain, English, and American mustards can taste completely different despite coming from the same plant. We'll taste through a flight of five to six mustards representing different styles and traditions, comparing heat, texture, sweetness, and tang, and talking through how to use each one — from classic pairings like cheese and charcuterie to less obvious ones like dressings and glazes. Expect a mix of history, a little science, hands-on tasting, and plenty of chances to find a new favorite jar. To fully participate in the class: 1. Reserve your ticket through Eventbrite!
