An Immersive Tasting of Sparkling Wines, Elevated by Curated Artisan Cheese Pairings
The tasting will be expertly guided by Wine Director Kyle Sheaffer, who brings to life each wine’s soul: its origin, production method, tasting notes, and character. As glasses glide from one taste to the next, we will accompany the pours with carefully selected cheeses — each pairing composed to accentuate the nuances of the bubbles. You’ll have the opportunity to linger over your favorites, ask questions, and compare impressions in a warm, convivial atmosphere.
An Evening of art and effervescence, where a welcome flute offers a sparkling prelude to an evening of enchantment and lively conversation.
As you arrive, relax amidst soft lighting, local artwork, and the whispered elegance of fine details. Sip a welcome flute as you mingle with fellow ICDC members, sparkling wine aficionados, and new acquaintances in the company of a shared passion for wines that sparkle.
A Sparkling Soirée
This is a night to slow down, savor, and connect. Rekindle your love for champagne and sparkling wines, and forge new friendships with kindred spirits, with an appreciation for wines that sparkle! The refined ambiance of The Pembroke is an ideal canvas: from the soft hum of conversation to the sparkle of flutes in low light, it will frame every moment in style.
Limited space. Reserve your place and toast to elegance.
