All Blind, All Fun, All Amazing and Now In-Person & with Fried Chicken! Can you tell which is which?

About this event:


Join us for a tasting of 21 different Champagnes (approx. $3,000 worth) and a (optional) fried chicken sandwich at COMUNITYmade.


Howlin' Ray's is known for their iconic fried chicken sandwiches and is not to be missed!


We pour three wines at a time, all blind (WARNING - Each paying guest will get poured the equivalent of an entire BOTTLE of Champagne)! 


The class lasts about 2 Hours as we quickly taste, rate, and review the three wines and pick our favorites. Taste up to 21 wines when sold out.


*Please notify us if you have allergies or dietary restrictions with advance notice.


Elevate your personal Champagne appreciation!


History, anecdotes, and laughs all served in generous portions.



Wine List:

Over $2000 worth of Bubbles when sold out! We taste 3 wines at a time (blind) and start by tasting the world of bubbles before moving into a flight of Non-Vintage, then a great set of Vintage wines, and then an incredible Tête de Cuvée challenge!
