Win two tickets to Science of Wine Orlando.
Now that I got SEO out of the way, let me explain. For eight years running, the Orlando Science Center has hosted a way-fun fundraiser. It’s for grown-ups only, and it’s themed around celebrating science while enjoying chef-prepared foods and fine wines. Now it’s time for the 9th Annual Science of Wine.
The crux is that about 30 Orlando-area foodservice establishments will be dishing out their own sweet or savory, or sweet and savory, science experiments, and 140 wines will be poured.
Chef-owner Alexia Gawlak of Swine & Sons shows off the ingredients she later emulsified to make Béarnaise sauce.
In addition, you can attend a demonstration by chef-owners Alexia and Rhys Gawlak of the deli and caterer Swine & Sons. The duo will embrace the scientific concept of emulsion by emulsifying – blending liquids together, as in how mayonnaise is created. They’ll drizzle what they make over something delicious. As a sample, I tasted a Béarnaise sauce over asparagus and thinly sliced country ham. The chefs are still finalizing the Science of Wine offerings.
Separately, you can learn about how wine is produced in a seminar called How’d It Get There? Julie Pepi, CSW director for fine wine in Florida for Trinchero Family Estates, will be one instructor. At her side will be Shaun C. Wright, fine wine manager for Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits.
California asparagus and thinly sliced country ham topped with a chervil-laced Béarnaise sauce. Watch the chefs of Swine & Sons makes something sort-of similar as they talk about the science of emulsion during Science of Wine Orlando.
Both seminars will cost a small sum above the base ticket price. You’ll learn a bunch, and you’ll be helping the Orlando Science Center, which is an amazing place for Orlando’s children to learn and play. We’re talking tots through tweens, honestly.
You can guarantee yourself a go at this entire extravaganza by buying a ticket $125, or $100 if your’e a member. The seminars are an extra $20 apiece. That’s your best bet.
I have two tickets to the main event right here in my office, though, and I am going to give them away. Enter to win by doing one of the following (Note: I changed the rules, making it easier, since originally posting. Original entrants remain entered):
