All Blind, All Fun, All Amazing and Now Live, In-Person! 


For those who love Champagne! Join us for a fast-paced, blind tasting of an abundance of bubbles.


Taste great wines, compare a few values, domestics, and bizarre finds, some we taste blind, and some we experience and discuss the style openly because they are smaller producers with unique attributes.


We open one bottle per paying guest!
