Holiday Bubbles: A Sparkling Wine Tasting

You're standing in the wine shop staring at an entire wall of Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, and other sparkling wines, trying to decode labels and price points, wondering which one won't disappoint. Unless you've spent serious time (and money) experimenting with different bottles, it's mostly guesswork.

That's exactly why we created Holiday Bubbles. After watching too many friends grab the same safe bottle of Prosecco every time or overspend on Champagne that didn't quite deliver, we knew there had to be a better way to understand sparkling wines. So we partnered with Winebow—one of the country's premier fine wine importers with a portfolio of independent, artisanal producers—to bring their expertise right here to our tasting room.

THE EXPERIENCE

On Thursday, December 11th at 6:30 PM, Kelly Fernandez from Winebow is guiding just 22 guests through five exceptional sparkling wines from around the world—served with charcuterie and chocolate in our cozy Fireplace Room.

This isn't a lecture. You'll spend the evening seated comfortably at elegantly set tables, learning about the methods that create those perfect bubbles and the regions that shape each wine's personality.

Here's what you'll gain: By the time you leave, you'll know which characteristics to look for on the label, which bottles work for different occasions, and why—no more guessing at the wine shop or overpaying for names alone.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Five premium sparkling wines from Winebow's portfolio of independent, artisanal producers

• Expert-led tasting with Kelly Fernandez from Winebow

• Charcuterie and chocolate pairings

• Reserved seating at beautifully set tables (no standing, no jockeying for space)

Plus: You'll leave knowing which bottles to reach for when hosting brunch, which pair beautifully with dessert, and which will make your dinner guests ask where you found such a gem.

WHO SHOULD COME

This evening is perfect for:

• Wine lovers who want to understand sparkling wine beyond "Prosecco is sweet and Champagne is expensive"

• Holiday party hosts looking to impress guests with the perfect bottle (and actually know why it's perfect)

• Couples seeking an elegant date night that's more than dinner and a movie

• Friends gathering for a pre-holiday celebration that's a step above the ordinary

• Anyone who's ever thought, "I wish I knew which sparkling wine to buy without just grabbing the one with the pretty label"

• The friend in your group who everyone asks for wine recommendations (or wants to become that friend)

Never explored sparkling wines in depth before? Perfect. This evening is designed for curious wine lovers who know what they enjoy but want to understand why. About 60% of our guests arrive as "I like Prosecco but I don't really know the difference between that and Champagne" and leave as "let me tell you about this incredible Crémant I discovered." Kelly meets you exactly where you are—whether you're just starting to explore beyond grocery store Prosecco or you're already tracking down grower Champagnes.

RESERVE YOUR SEAT

We're keeping this intimate—just 22 seats—so Kelly can answer your questions personally rather than shouting explanations across a crowded room. These spots typically fill quickly with wine family members who make December tastings an annual tradition.
