About the event

Wine & Cheeseburger Pairing
Wine & Cheeseburger Pairing Event at The Wine Thief

Join us for an unforgettable night that brings together two things we take very seriously: exceptional wine and beautifully crafted burgers. This four-course tasting menu explores how texture, fat, acidity, oak, and aromatics interact across some of the world’s great wine regions—each paired with a unique burger designed specifically for the glass in front of you.

The evening will be guided by Chef/Owner Matthew Griseta, who will walk guests through the flavor logic, pairing strategy, and the nuances behind each course.

This isn’t a flight and slider night. This is wine pairing, turned on its head.

First Course — Vermentino & Bright Mediterranean Flavors

Seghesio Family Vineyards Vermentino
Char-grilled burger patty with Fontina, roasted red pepper, arugula, and lemon & herb aioli
A vibrant, citrus- and herb-driven pairing that highlights freshness, salinity, and lift.

Second Course — Barolo & Earthy Depth

Poderi e Cantine Oddero Barolo
Char-grilled burger patty with Taleggio, roasted cremini mushrooms, and black garlic & truffle mayo
Silky tannin meets deep umami for a true Piedmont moment.

Third Course — Pomerol & Plush Elegance

Château Gombaude-Guillot Pomerol
Butter-basted, pan-seared burger patty with Roth Creamery Grand Cru, crispy shallots, and dijonaise
Dark fruit, velvet tannins, and a luxurious French-leaning build.

Final Course —Neal Family Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet & Power + Precision

Neal Family Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Dry-aged burger blend with North Country smoked candied bacon, caramelized onion, 5-year cheddar, and charred scallion aioli
A bold, structured finish—from mountain fruit to deep umami and smoke.
