The history of sparkling wine is a combination of accidental discovery, scientific experimentation, and the efforts of many people to perfect the process. The first sparkling wine was likely created by accident in a cellar in Languedoc, France, when cold winter temperatures stopped the primary fermentation process. When the cellar warmed up in the spring, the yeast cells were reactivated and released carbon dioxide into the barrels, creating bubbles. Since then, the making of sparkling wine has evolved with many processes in place to perfect the wines.
We will sample a diverse selection of five bubbles from around the world, including Champagne, of course! We will be joined by wine expert, Chris Curtis of Winebow (who has led MANY tastings for us). Simply Jam ‘N Boards will produce an amazing Charcuterie Table.
When: Sunday, December 15
Time: 2-3:30pm
Cost: $48 per person (includes online booking fee).
The wines featured will be offered at 10% off single bottles, 20% off cases at the event.
Unlike our sit-down wine and cheese pairings, the Bubbles Tasting has a more social, cocktail party-type vibe. The wines are set up in stations and tasters rotate throughout the shop.
