World Wine Discovery – Champagne

June 9, 2012

Discover the most celebrated beverage on the planet with The International Champagne Writer of the Year 2011. Champagne is the finest sparkling wine, but it’s the most over-hyped, too! Learn how to cut through the glossy marketing campaigns, the bright packaging and the unpronounceable French names to discover the very best that Champagne has to offer. We will line up thirteen of the finest champagnes, non-vintage, vintage, blanc de blancs and rosés from big brands and tiny “grower producers,” some of the finest prestige cuvées and the best bargains on the shelves this year. With a total wine value of more than $1900, this tasting will culminate with the prestige cuvées of Pol Roger, Bollinger and Pierre Gimonnet & Fils. Presented by Tyson Stelzer, The International Champagne Writer of the Year 2011 and author of The Champagne Guide 2012-2013, this course includes a copy of the limited edition hardback valued at $49.95.
