Gnocchi sounds like the kind of thing only Italian grandmothers can pull off. Chef Christine is about to prove that very wrong, and make it genuinely fun in the process. In this laid-back, beginner-friendly class you will go from a pile of Russet potatoes and flour to a plate of pillowy homemade gnocchi tossed in a brown butter sauce with crispy sage, black pepper and a finish of Parmesan and fresh chives that makes the whole dish sing. Along the way you will learn how to work a gnocchi dough, shape it properly and nail the brown butter timing, that precise moment between golden and gone that makes all the difference. Come as a complete beginner. Leave as someone who makes gnocchi from scratch now. Louisville dinner parties will never be the same.

We book the best each one has to offer rare tastings, sipping straight from the barrel with the owner, blending your own bourbon, or mixing your own cocktail. The Kentucky Bourbon Trail® is a nice start, but it’s not the whole story. It features a select group that pay to participate — but some of Kentucky’s best experiences aren’t even on their map.
