LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2014) – Double Helix Wine & Whiskey Lounge at Town Square, 6605 Las Vegas Blvd. South, announces its upcoming interactive classes, including a champagne and cheese pairing class in May and a whiskey and BBQ pairing in June.

 

To celebrate the new champagne splits Double Helix is offering in May, the class on May 20 will demonstrate how to pair popular champagnes with cheeses. “Students” will be instructed by a master sommelier from Southern Wine & Spirits.
Champagnes for the class include:
  • Mionetto Moscato Dolce

As a tribute to the start of summer, the June 17 class will feature Double Helix’s exclusive Jack Daniels blend along with other selections from Jack Daniels. The exclusive blend was chosen by Owner Ray Nisi who recently traveled to the Jack Daniels distillery in Tennessee to work with its master distiller and pick the blend that best matched the Double Helix consumers. Chef Doug Vega will create signature BBQ dishes to taste and the class will learn how to effectively pair them with whiskey.
