Monday, August 29th will mark the 6th annual Champagne tasting hosting by the Institute of the Masters of Wine.
In two, 2-hour long sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to taste some of the region’s top wines organized by style spanning non-vintage, vintage, rosé, blanc de blancs, prestige cuvée, and sweeter (dosé) styles, including extra-sec, sec, demi-sec, and riche.
Unfortunately, this event isn’t open to the general public despite the $50 ticket fee that comes with the event. However, if you’re a Master of Wine, Master Sommelier, student of wine, key wine buyer in the retail and restaurant trade or a journalist you’re good to go.
The event will take place at Christie’s, 20 Rockefeller Plaza (49th Street), New York, NY 10020 between the hours of 12-2pm for the first session and 2:30-4:30pm for the second.
Unfortunately I can’t make this one, but I’d love to hear from anyone who could! Sounds like the perfect way to start the week off right.
