Table 45 Fall Wine Classes!

Are you intrigued by the relationship between wine and food? Does it excite you? Puzzle you? Or even intimidate you? Have you always wondered what it is exactly they are always talking about?

Well, now is your chance to find out! Join us on one of three delightful evenings this Summer and Fall for food, wine and open discussions about this crazy affair!

Sommelier Todd Thompson will host three different wine and food pairing classes with world cuisine prepared by Restaurant Chef Tom Schrenk. Each class will consist of a four-course tasting menu paired with two different wines per course. In order to enhance the tasting experience, all wines are presented in a blind format. The wines are revealed at the end of each course, followed by an educational session and discussion regarding the selected pairings. Mr. Thompson's unique style and approach to wine and food creates a light and fun atmosphere that is not only informative but entertaining as well! Learn not only what works well with each other but what works for YOU! Taste, sip, discuss, enjoy!

August 26th
Summer BBQ & Grill Wine Class
Savor the last days and tastes of summer!

September 23rd
Farmers Market Wine Class
Products purchased at the North Union Farmers Market will be the inspiration for this four-course tasting.

PATIO 45

Table 45 is pleased to announce the opening of our new outdoor dining space! Designed by Bill Blunden, the award-winning architect who created the design concept for Table45's interior space, Patio 45 overlooks a beautiful courtyard and provides a relaxing escape within the city.

"Dining isn't just about the food- it's about the complete expereince, " said Zack Bruell, our Chef and Co-Creator. "Patio 45 has been carefully planned to provide diners with the same great service, ambience and cuisine that they have come to expect from Table 45- in an outdoor setting."

Patio 45 seats 40 diners with two lounge areas located on either end and is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. Tables are seated by our hostess on a first come first serve basis although we will certainly note your preference to be seated on the patio when taking your reservation and do our best to accomodate you.

For more information, contact us at 216.707.4045

Celebrate the summer weather on Patio 45!
