Passport not required for this wine tasting. 🍷✈️

We’re sipping our way through France, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia, California, and beyond in our newest class, Summer Sipping: A Global Wine Journey with resident wine expert Svetlana Rostova.

Think crisp whites, easy summer reds, coastal wines, great stories, cheese + charcuterie pairings, and the kind of bottles you’ll want to bring to every patio dinner this summer.

Swipe to meet Svetlana and hear a little about the experience she’s bringing to the table. 🍇

Your Memorial Day table just called. It wants red gingham napkins, better grill tools, and weiner dog corn holders. 🌭🌽🇺🇸

We pulled together a few of our favorite hosting essentials for the long weekend, including MagicLinen Linen Napkins in Red Gingham, bambu® Disposable Bamboo Fancy Plates in both 11-inch and 7-inch sizes, the Outset Dachshund Corn Holders, the Outset Round Grill Press in Cast Iron, and the Great Scrape Woody Nub grill scraper, handcrafted in America and designed to custom-fit your grill grates over time.

Because burgers and corn on the cob deserve the right accessories. 🍔

Available in-store and online at athenscooks.com (link in bio).

Two bottles worth knowing. 🍷

We’ve been reaching for these Weninger reds lately—and Courtney, owner of Athens Cooks, just called the 2018 ‘Steiner’ her new favorite. Both are Blaufränkisch, but show it differently. The ‘Kirchholz,’ from old vines on stony, gravel-rich soil, brings more depth and structure. The ‘Steiner,’ grown in Sopron, is a bit more lifted—bright acidity with notes of dark berries and a subtle, spicy finish.

Featuring:
Weninger | 2017 ‘Kirchholz’ Burgenland Blaufränkisch
Weninger | 2018 ‘Steiner’ Sopron Kékfrankos (Courtney’s current favorite)
L’Atelier du Vin | Wine Opener – GEOMETRY (sleek, well-balanced, and made to keep on the counter)

Available in-store and online at athenscooks.com (link in bio).

Meet the newest addition to The Thrasher-Nelson household: Prince Moonpie! He was abandoned, rescued off Prince Ave in front of our store with several fractures and a dislocated femur. We have rehabilitated him back to a health weight, and he’s a much happier little boy! 🥲

Now, the question is, are you Team Moonpie or team Chef & Lady?

There’s something about making pasta from scratch that makes you wonder why you ever bought it in a box.

Chef Nathan Altman will walk you through the whole thing—fresh fettuccine dough, a classic pomodoro, and the kind of kitchen confidence that sticks around after class ends. Plus 10% off most in-store items the day of class. Optional wine pairings available.

Inspired by the arches of Venice’s Rialto Bridge, these coupe glasses from Sir Madam bring color and craftsmanship to your table—with hand-finished details that make every glass slightly one of a kind. 🍸✨

Good wine, good people, and a little bit of learning along the way. 🍷

“Uncorked & Untamed” with our resident wine expert, Taylor Cotton, is all about Loire Valley wines that are worth knowing—approachable, a little unexpected, and genuinely fun to explore.

Along with the wines, we’ll be serving a few thoughtful pairings—Mt. Tam from Cowgirl Creamery, Drunken Goat, Parmigiano Reggiano, bresaola, and Duck prosciutto—selected to bring out the wines’ acidity, texture, and depth in different ways.

Thursday, May 14 • 7-8:30 PM
