Comprehensive Guide to Bubbles — Wed, December 2nd

This tasting will take place on Wednesday, December 2nd, from 7 to 8:15pm.

In this session, we're taking you down the winding road through all the bubbly terms and concepts you've heard before but maybe can't actually pinpoint. What makes one different from the other?

Not all bubbles are Champagne. Not all bubbles are Prosecco. Bubbles aren't only for celebrations, and no, you should not only drink them in flutes. A little sweetness in your bubbles can open up a whole new dimension of flavour. Traditional method, Charmat method, ancestral method. Brut, brut nature, extra dry. 

We'll talk about why bubbles exist in the first place, how they get there, and why some are aggressive, some are gentle, and some are just right. We'll talk about dosage, about terroir, about the difference between a $30 bottle and a $150 bottle, and whether you can actually taste the difference. And yes, we will drink bubbles. Lots of them.

This guided tasting includes 5 wines, with 2oz pours of each. Enough to taste, explore, and get a real sense of each bottle.
