More about this class

Just in time for the New Year — it’s the annual sparkling wine class! I have taught this class every year on December 30 for at least the last 6 years and it’s so fun. I hope you can join. You will be able to use all of these wines for your NYE festivities, so it’s a great excuse to take the class and open a few terrific bottles.

Sparkling is a delicious wine type with storied history and many different styles.  For this class we’ll discuss 3 methods for making sparkling wine and the differences in flavor. The suggested wines will be around $20 – we’ll explore Crémant, Prosecco, and Cava.  We’ll focus on how each wine differs and why it matters. We will go over Champagne too (although you don’t have to buy it for the class, you can just learn about it! However on a budget, you can get a “split”, or a 187 ml bottle of bigger producer Champagne for  $15). We’ll explore:

 

  • How is Champagne made? How are other sparkling wines made?
  • What grapes go into each wine and why does it matter?
  • The proper method for opening and pouring sparkling wines to keep your fizz
  • Why Champagne is a good candidate for aging?

 

I’ll also tell you how to keep the fizz alive after the class so you can use these wines for your New Year’s Eve festivities!
