Drink Seminar: Always the Life of the Party: The Many Faces of Sparkling Wine
Presenter: Jason Kawaguchi
Don’t be fooled by sparkling wine’s cheerleader personality. Not all bubblies are the same. Sure, they share a love of good times, and they get along well with almost any cuisine, but their character varies widely depending on where they come from and how they were made Sommelier Jason Kawaguchi leads this exploration of how sparkling wine is influenced by terroir, the grapes used, and the winemaking process. He’ll also talk about the effects of ageing on bubbly wines, as a bit of extra time in the bottle can sometimes bring out more complexity than you’d expect in a sock-it-to-me sparkler.
