Join us in to welcome Matt Nelling. from Skurnik Wine Imports, to share very fine and rare Grower Champagnes in an all-inclusive event!

Skurnik Wine Imports is one of the leading importers of estate-made wines in the United States. They have gained a reputation for their collection of truly remarkable Grower Champagne producers, building a portfolio of terroir-driven, rare, and sought after Champagnes from key grape growers and pioneers in the Grower Champagne movement.

At Josephine, we've relied on special orders from the Skurnik warehouse in New York to build out our diverse Champagne bottle list, with an interest in showing the wide range of terroirs across Champagne. For this tasting, we have selected five premium Grower Champagnes highlighting key regions of Champagne, key grape varieties, and a range of production methods to showcase the best of the best.

We will be pouring a selection of exclusive Grower Champagnes from Skurnik's portfolio at your discretion for 2 hours! That's right, this is an all-you-can-safely-drink event! Your ticket gets unlimited pours of five seriously special Grower Champagnes, a tasting guided by Matt Nelling, and French snacks from the Josephine kitchen. All wines will be available, in limited quantities for retail sales following the event.
