2021 - Blind Bubbly Tasting

Posted on 30 September 2021
By Mark Meissner

Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday will be focused on bubbles!

We'll be pouring four sparkling wines BLIND. Your assignment is to determine WHICH of the four pours is from Champagne!

We'll be pouring from Spain's Cava region, Italy's Veneto and California's Santa Lucia Highlands. Can you tease out the top dog - the grower bubbles from France's Champagne region? Four special sparkling wines and we're purposely keeping the wine details out this week, so drop by and we'll look forward to hosting you! Get ready, see you soon.

Please note, we'll be closing the tasting room and retail shop at 5pm THIS Saturday for our annual Burgundy fall harvest event - which is FULL. Thanks for understanding.
