IN VINO VERITAS
“In Wine There Is Truth”
IN
VINO VERITAS is an ancient Latin phrase which translates
literally as “in wine there is truth.”
The ancient Greeks referred to wine as the divine
nectar and the celestial liquid.
Wine is without a doubt one of the single most
complex and pleasurable beverages known to humankind.
Join us at the Newburgh Wine and Arts Festival on
a journey of truth and discovery through a series of
short educational programs to help enhance your wine
knowledge and experience.

Pairing Wine and Food is Like
Choosing a Tie
3:00
– 4:00pm
Once
upon a time there were hard rules about what wine to
serve with dinner. “Red
wine with beef. White
wine with chicken or fish.”
Twenty years ago the new rule became, “If you
like it serve it with anything.”
Wherein, lies the truth? For every
food action, there is a wine reaction.
Tim Mills, a connoisseur and true wine
expert, will share some guidelines that will help us
select the right wine to enhance our meal.
