How it works:
1. Purchase a ticket - as the number of guests increase - the number of wines expand - the amount of champagne poured in your glass in ounces does not change.
2. 14 guests is sold out - 14 wines. 8 guests - 8 wines.
3. Price is not based on the inclusion of any one bottle - but bottles are opened and poured until empty - one bottle per paying guest.
4. Gratuity of 15% or more is requested if you enjoy the experience but we do not include gratuity at purchase.
5. This experience includes great service, a top notch cheese pairing from the Cheese Store in Beverly Hills - amazing breads and crackers and charcuterie… with a kiss of top quality CAVIAR from our friends at PETROSSIAN.
