If you love sparkling wines and you love to travel, or you love champagne and are looking for more affordable options, then this workshop is for you! It could also be called “Everything you wanted to know about bubbly, but were too afraid to ask”. 

Why is champagne so expensive? What is the difference between champagne, crémant, cava, franciacorta, prosecco, sekt, pet nat? What should I look for on a label? How long should I keep a bottle? What should I use for a cocktail? What food should I serve with it? Where can I buy good value-for-money sparkling wines?

I will co-host this workshop with Janet Dorozynski, a fellow Canadian wine expert who will be in town. By day Janet works for the Trade Commissioner Service and is responsible for promoting Canadian wine on the international scene. By night she is a wine judge and journalist. Read more about Janet. She will bring New World sparkling wines, impossible to find in Paris.

During the workshop you will learn about:

• the 5 different ways of making sparkling wine
• the countries/regions and their grape varieties
