“Regarding ZiNG! workshops: I have seen chefs, servers and consumers all walk away with confidence that they can create a better dining experience. We have seen a new focus on pairing, selling and adding more value here in Charleston with ZING! What a great tool for all who like to raise the bar!”
“ZiNG! has opened up a new world for me in understanding how to pair food and wine…it has removed the smoke and mirrors and replaced them with a simple, science-based method. From a scientific standpoint it makes so much sense. I can’t believe no one discovered it earlier!”
“I have taught wine classes at DePaul for over 6 years and Trish brought an entirely different perspective to the way I talk about wine and food pairings. This is a wonderful program that in a very simple way instructs one on the best ways to pair wine and food. I have run across a handful of Advanced and Master Sommeliers who wish they had come into contact with this program while they were learning.”
“As a chef, ZiNG! not only helped me pair wines better with food – it also helped me craft new dishes to be more suitable for wine. ZiNG! is a new way to look at pairing that will be helpful and interesting for anyone who loves good food and wine.”
“Trish, Thank you so much for yesterday. I greatly enjoyed your brilliant presentation. It was extremely informative and great fun. It was wonderful to meet you.”
“Trish, I’ve read your book cover to cover and even started teaching the ZiNG concepts during my own food and wine pairing workshops…my wine & food workshops are my most popular tastings and since sharing your views on how to pair wine & food, my students have been converted too! Many thanks for having changed my mind, my way of teaching, my wine & food life! ”
“For 29 years I have tried to share with my guests the harmony between food and wine. The problem was, most guests didn’t grasp what I was trying to explain about how pairing works. Now, they forever have the power to pair, once they get the ZiNG! “
“ZiNG! is an epiphany…what the pursuit of ‘better’ in life is all about. It has profoundly changed how I approach what I eat and drink together and I am always inspired by how much pleasure I derive from this simple process. You just gotta do it.”
“I’ve sat through many wine seminars in my career and this by far was the most illuminating, entertaining and practical I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve never seen our staff experience so many epiphanies and be so excited about their continuing education than after taking ‘the Zing thing’ training. Trish is a true gem!”
“This is a program I employed almost daily in my capacity as wine director for four retail stores and three 300-seat restaurants in three states… Start with the wines and foods with which you are most familiar and then branch out—you will be thrilled, amazed, and you will look at your meal differently from now on”
“ZiNG! makes food & wine pairing more objective, there is a chemistry to it, and it’s based on all of us having a tongue, not twenty years of pairing/tasting experience. There’s real democracy in this.”
“After Paring food and wine for the past 15 years, Zing! changed the way I think from the core…”
“Zing! is a wonderfully objective and easily understood approach to food and wine pairing that focuses on the actual structural qualities of each. It’s so easy I can’t believe it’s not already common practice”
