Pétillant Naturel, or “Pet Nat”, is enjoying its time in the spotlight, thanks to the growing popularity of “natural” wines. But Pet Nat is one of the wine world’s oldest categories, a true accidental creation. It is a sparkling wine made from the ancestral method of bottling the wine prior to the completion of fermentation. This traps the last bit of carbon dioxide from that process making for a lightly fizzy wine, and it can sometimes be slightly sweet, and often is cloudy. Annie Edgerton, DWSET, adores Pet Nat, and calls it her favorite “breakfast wine,” as it is light, charming, slightly savory, and frequently fascinating. Come join her for a journey through this happy accident, and explore the range of styles and grape varieties, resulting in floral to fruity to pleasantly funky wines. Sure to put a smile on your face, these wines have charm galore.

Please note the unusual date for this class: We hope you can join us on Thursday, April 17 at 6pm on the mezzanine for this special event!
