About this Event
Make It Fizz
A Class and Tasting: Children's Atlas of Wine x Heritage Wines
All wine starts out fizzing. From Champagne to pet-nat and prosecco to rifermentato, we'll explore the histories behind the wines that stay that way.
Not that long ago, Champagne was a wine region that made pale wines the color of onion skins and partridge eyes, out of the same grapes as Burgundy and poured at the same coronations. Fizz was something that happened while your wine fermented, but the bubbles went away. Bottles exploded, juice in barrel went flat, British merchants started adding molasses at the receiving harbors to make wine "brisk"...
So how did Champagne — wine region — become champagne — 19th century beverage technology, modernist craze, the first luxury brand marketed with Art Deco posters and carried by railroad?
What's the difference between champagne and everything else?
Tickets include 5 wines that fizz and froth, 15% off any featured bottle next door at Heritage Wines, and an hour and a half interactive tasting with James Sligh of the Children's Atlas of Wine.
Dive Deeper is a series of specialized classes focused on cult producers, emerging regions, and deep cuts.
