A few weeks ago, I told you about Old Doc's class in pairing wines with Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a reminder that the tasting takes place 7 p.m. tonight at the Cedar and Nees store. Call (559) 224-3627 to reserve a spot.

Also, there is a tasting of Fresno State Winery's 2009 Nouveau wines from 5:30 to 8 p.m. tonight. The tasting includes the wines, hors d'oeuvres and a cooking demonstration by Fredrick Clabaugh, executive chef of the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite.

These Nouveau wines are created in the style of Beaujolais Nouveau, the extremely young French wines released every year on the third Thursday of November. Drink them soon, for these wines are closer to juice than the complex, layered flavors of older wines.

The tasting costs $15. (Fresno State students and alumni pay $10. Fresno State Wine Club members pay $5.) It will take place in Fresno State's Enology Building, 2360 E. Barstow Ave. Guests must be at least 21 years old.

Parking permits are available at any parking dispenser on campus. Enter coupon code 16080002. For more information, call (559) 278-4867 or go here.
