Join us to taste wines featured in the book "Champagne: How the World's Most Glamorous Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times"
About this Event

The authors of the international bestseller Wine and War chronicle the untold dramatic history of Champagne from the 13th century through the crucibles of two world wars to the 21st century

Throughout history, waves of invaders including Franks, Visigoths, Burgundians, Merovingians, Barbarians, Alamanshave swept across the verdant region of Champagne in southern France. Yet this region, which historians say has suffered more invasions, battles, and wars than any other place on earth, is also the birthplace of the one ingredient that above all others epitomizes joy: champagne.

At this tasting, we will discuss the stories and histories told in the book while tasting the great wines from Champagne!

We're partnering with our friends Old Town Books for this event. Please visit their shop to pick up your copy of the book!

Included with your ticket:

  • Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
  • Tasting of six wines featured in Champagne: How the World's Most Glamorous Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times
  • Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
  • Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted


** While we absolutely recommend reading this fantastic book, this tasting will not require the reading beforehand. These stories will be summarized with the tastings **
