Island Holiday Guide: Champagne Extravaganza, Amabile Choir, Winter Studio Tour, BIMA Winter Market, & Anastasia at BPA
Holiday Champagne Extravaganza 2024 at the BARN Tonight!
Join the BARN for its premiere Holiday Champagne Extravaganza, a celebration of the most celebratory wine on earth. Champagne is synonymous with festive and significant occasions but is a serious wine in its own right and is particularly adept at pairing with food. Champagne is complicated with its styles, classifications, and labeling, but we’ll learn about this world-famous sparkler by tasting a curated selection of fine champagnes including non-vintage, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, rosé, and vintage expressions, accompanied by a small plate of appetizers to experiment pairing with.
This is the first champagne course we’ve ever offered, and we’re making it extra special for the holidays. Treat yourself and a friend! We hope to make this an annual tradition, and hope that you can join us for the very first one. The event will be held tonight, Wednesday December 4, from 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit: Holiday Champagne Extravaganza 2024 – BARN Catalog
