WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28TH
6:00 PM TO 7:30 PM PST

As the holidays approach, sparkling wine starts showing up everywhere: on the table, in gift bags, and in everyone's hand at midnight. And while Champagne is usually the first thing that comes to mind, it's only one chapter in a much bigger story.

Sparkling wine is made all over the world, in more styles than most people realize. Some are rustic and cloudy, bottled mid-fermentation for a fun, funky fizz. Others are made with painstaking precision, spending years aging in bottle for that toasty, layered elegance. What separates them? Mostly how the bubbles get there, and that choice shapes the look and texture of the wine in your glass.

In this class, we'll taste six different sparklers, from funky pet-nats to elegant Champagne and plenty in between. Along the way, you'll learn how each style is made, what to look for when you're choosing a bottle, and how to tell what's worth the splurge. By the end, you'll have a solid grasp of the fundamentals and the confidence to navigate any wine shop shelf, or holiday party, with ease. Cheers!

*Please note $10 of the class fee is a service charge that goes directly to the staff supporting the event. Admission includes tastes of six wines, instructional materials, snacks, and the $10 service charge.
