City Winery is pouring out new pairing dinners at Pier 57

New York's emporium of all things vino, City Winery is rolling out a new series of pairing dinners for the warm-weather season at its flagship location at Chelsea's Pier 57. (Fun fact: it's the largest wine bar in New York City!)

Of course, there will be wine, but the series—which will run from May through July—will also spotlight spirits such as tequila and mezcal, which will be the focus of an exclusive "Agave Adventure" tasting dinner hosted in the winery's Barrel Room. The intimate, multicourse experiences will accommodate 25 to 40 guests, and all beverage pairings will be done by City Winery's National Beverage Director, Denise Prykanowski.

Take a look at the themes for the four pairing dinners below, as well as details on each menu and ticket information:
