Event Details

Just in time for the holidays, we’re going to explore a number of sparkling wines from around the world at the best place in the city to do that:  Pops for Champagne!  If you haven’t been to Pops, it is the nation's most acclaimed champagne bar and Chicago's most elegant live music club. Craig Cooper, wine coordinator at Pops, will lead us in a discussion of the varieties of sparkling wine, what to look for and how to develop an appreciation for the great variety available in this wine-making style.

 

We’ll try five wines in all, including two champagnes, a rosé from Italy, a moscatel from Spain and a blanc de blanc from California. We’ll enjoy a selection of cheeses at the same time, and have plenty of time for socializing.

 

Space is limited to only 20 participants, so don’t wait to purchase your tickets!  Price is $40 per person for this one (due to the expense of the wines), and goes to $50/person as of 10pm Sunday, November 16th. 

 

Hope you can join us!
