Difficulty level: Wine 101
From Champagne to pet nat and from sekt to prosecco, there are so many fascinating and delicious sparkling wines in the world that we could drink them every day (and many of us do!). But how can these wines be so incredibly diverse in price point, taste and style? The key to understanding the answer is process: there are several different ways to make sparkling wine, and the winemaker's choice of technique has a dramatic impact on the finished wine. Ren will break down the great sparkling wine methods of the world, serving up tasty examples to help you experience the differences in action. You may just discover your next favorite glass of bubbles! 

This class will begin at 6:00pm on Tuesday, January 21 and run for approximately 90 minutes. Wines tasted in class will be available for purchase with a discount available to attendees only. Seating is limited.
