NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Restaurants and wine and spirits experts from across New Hampshire are gathering at the state liquor store in Nashua for a series of gatherings that pair food and drink.

Starting Saturday, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission is hosting the “In the Mix Kitchen Series” at the Coliseum Avenue store in Nashua.

During Saturdays through April, customers will enjoy a specialty dish prepared by a restaurant and paired with wines and spirits.

Consumers will walk away with the culinary tips, same-day savings on select wines and spirits and, in some cases, special offers from featured restaurants.

The series starts with food prepared by Napa East Wine Lounge & Shop paired with wines from Martignetti Companies of New Hampshire.
