As the name suggests, The Wine Studio is not a traditional restaurant but a venue for experimentation, specialty themed events and cooking classes. It is a modern and open, loft-like, 850 square-foot room that will be home to events revolving around a new approach to food and wine.

The centerpiece of The Wine Studio is an open, state-of-the-art home kitchen sponsored by Kitchen Aid, a leader in kitchen appliances and culinary accessories.

The Wine Studio also boasts a 2,000 square-foot outdoor courtyard that is designed to host private cocktail parties, intimate weddings or corporate affairs.

Each month, special events will include a wine tasting hosted by The Magnolia Wine Club, The Vine to Table Sessions, and various other wine themed evenings.

Chef Edward Lee:
“The Wine Studio is the natural progression of our team’s vision. It is the modern offspring of 610 Magnolia: a minimalist, stylized venue that is less formal but still guided by the same philosophy of excellence, elegance and attention to detail. We wanted the space to feel contemporary yet welcoming. An event in The Wine Studio feels more like going to a party at your friend’s loft kitchen – albeit one where a professional chef and wine steward are on hand to cater to your every need. We hope you will join us in this exploration as we attempt to bring a fresh approach to the ever-changing art of food and wine.”

“Any serious discussion about good food is incomplete without a fierce debate on the proper wine pairing.”

Chef Edward Lee of 610 Magnolia is excited to introduce a series of cooking classes called The Vine To Table Sessions. These sessions will be an informal but detailed evening focused on how to prepare great dishes and what to drink with them. The sessions will be held in The Wine Studio @ 610 Magnolia in a relaxed and intimate setting with a class limit of 12 to 15 people. Participants will cook several recipes “hands-on” with Chef Lee. Afterwards, the entire class will sit down for dinner with carefully chosen wines.

The goal of these sessions is two-fold:

1. To learn the basic recipes of Chef Lee’s style of cooking which will focus on seasonal ingredients with light vibrant sauces.
2. To attain a true understanding of the basic tenets of wine pairings. There is no right or wrong answer but everyone should come away with the ability to talk knowledgably about why certain parings work or don’t work.

Where

Sessions will be held in The Wine Studio @ 610 Magnolia, located at 621 W. Magnolia Avenue just across the street from the restaurant.

Cost

Prices will vary depending on the theme but most sessions will start at $135 per person which will include the wine pairings. Friends and spouses may join for just the dinner portion of the session at a reduced price.

Requirements

Formal cooking experience is not required. All materials and equipment will be provided. We ask that all attendees sign a waiver and bring an apron.

Reservations

All reservations will be accepted on a first come – first serve basis. Classes will be limited to 12 to 15 attendees. For information or reservations, please call our Special Events Director, Chorben Miller, at 502-817-7936.

“The best use of bad wine is to drive away poor relations.”
- French proverb

The Magnolia Wine Club is a unique forum for friends to experience and buy wine in a social setting where the emphasis is on boutique and hard to find wines. It is not a wine store in the traditional sense. The goal is to simplify the confusing task of buying wine into a simple mantra: taste the wine, like the wine, buy the wine. Selections will be limited to about 20 to 30 wines at any given time but the portfolio will change from month to month.

Tastings are held each month guided a different theme with appetizers prepared by the 610 Magnolia team of chefs. At the tastings, the entire portfolio will be available to sample. The Magnolia Wine Club is open by invitation only. To be added to our mailing list, simply call 502-817-7936 call or e-mail us to be added to our mailing list. We send out a monthly e-mail newsletter describing our wine themed events. Space for our monthly tasting events and wine dinners are very limited so we encourage you to make reservations in a timely fashion.

This is a perfect service for anyone throwing a party, building up a wine cellar or for any avid wine drinker who enjoys tasting a portfolio of new wines each month. Every selection is thoughtfully chosen and ready to drink. In a typical wine store with hundreds of selections, there are bound to be hits and misses.
