A tasting like no other, we will enjoy only the truest of true: Champagne. Ray's Wine & Spirits Director Nate Norfolk will be presenting eight different Champagnes from France, ranging in styles from classic Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Rosé and beyond. We’ll also explore the history of this dynamic wine region with a focus on the rise of grower-producers and how they stack up to the classic producers. All Champagne is sparkling wine, but only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region of France can be called Champagne. Per "The Oxford Companion to Wine," less than one-twelfth of the sparkling wine produced around the world is actual Champagne, so to say it's a treat is quite the understatement! This evening will make a bubbly lover out of anyone, and to us, there's nothing more fun than that! |
