Find the perfect bottle for your holiday meal.

Champagne may be the most celebrated sparkling wine, but is not necessarily most celebratory. There are certainly other wonderful options for a crisp, dry, elegant toast.

During this two hour tasting seminar, Pamela will discuss what makes Champagne truly unique (and therefore, more expensive) and will discuss the various methods by which other sparkling wines are produced (including méthode champenoise). She will guide you through a tasting of two Champagnes and four sparkling wines.
