Bubbly on a Budget

Gone are the days when you had to spend a lot of money to get a decent bottle of bubbly. Today, there are fantastic pétillants, Proseccos, and others sparkling wines that are affordable and eminently drinkable. And, if nothing but Champagne will do, some grower producers are making delicious, modestly priced juice.

Led by Pamela Busch, this two hour tasting seminar will explore the best-value bottles of bubbly. Cheers!

CANCELED - Tasting Seminar: Sherry

While more popular than ever, Sherry is still very much a mystical thing. This fortified wine ranges from a relatively light, perfect-as-an-aperitif “fino" to a viscous, sweet Pedro Ximenez -- with a whole of food friendliness in between. In this 2-hour tasting and seminar, you will taste six styles while exploring their history and production. You will leave understanding why Sherry -- a long-neglected wine -- is now suddenly cool.
