Learnaboutwine has been educating Los Angeles residences for 30 years. Professional Sommelier Ian Blackburn has worked in wine his entire Adult life, was West Coast Key Accounts for the House of Taittinger at Kobrand, travelled to the region of Champagne on many occasions, and works for Champagne USA educating students at the University level. We are bringing this certification to all Los Angelenos that would like to grow in their understanding of great Champagne. "A Certificate of Completion” is included with successful completion of a take home quiz on the region and a commitment to help protect the name of Champagne.
We will taste a minimum of six Champagne (a few more with a larger attendance)
-Brut, NV
-Extra Brut
-Blanc de Blancs
-Blanc de Noirs
-Vintage
-Rosé
This level of understanding is perfect for level 1, 2, and those pursuing level 3 - or anyone that just wants to learn and enjoy Champagne at a higher level.
We will discuss production, the history, and the future of great Champagne and increase the number of Champagne wines tasted as the class grows in size.
