What a treat this will be! You can’t any more decadent that a tasting featuring Champagne, Port, Dessert wines and sparkling wines. We expect nearly 200 wines to taste! And with all the wines being offered at discount prices, this is a great way to stock up for the holidays.  

Champagne: All of your favorite NV and Vintage Champagnes including the luxury brands will be poured but also a great selection of “grower” RM Champagnes. Learn the difference between NM and RM Champagnes at the Seminar.

Port: A nice variety including vintage Port, Late Bottled Vintage Port, Tawny Port, Aged Tawnies, Ruby, etc.

Dessert: There will be dessert wines from all over the world.

Sparkling Wine: Bubbly from the U.S., Spain, Australia, Italy, etc. will be represented.  

The French Wine Society is offering a seminar on Champagne prior to the tasting. Learn about the region, the different styles, RM and NM Champagnes, etc.

VIP Ticket: VIPs get to taste the best wines in a relaxed environment:
1. Arrive one hour ahead of the crowds
2. Sample the high dollar Champagnes (Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Krug, etc.), Vintage Ports, etc. that are not included in the Grand Tasting

Business casual attire. Cheese and bread will be served throughout the tasting.
