Everyday Bubbles: Finger Lakes Edition – Sparkling Wine for All Occasions
Friday October 9 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Sparkling wine has been a beacon of celebration for as long as the French have been making it. Since then, sparkling wine has spread across the globe and right here in our own backyard, the Finger Lakes has quietly become one of the most exciting sparkling wine regions in the country, with cool-climate acidity and traditional-method winemaking that rival regions twice its size (and price tag!).
But why wait for a special occasion to drink this incredibly appealing wine, especially when it’s made right down the road? Join NYK Beverage Education Manager Jen Menges and her partner in bubbly crime, Kyle Pallischeck, Wine Educator and Director of Programs for the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, for a Finger Lakes-focused bubbly experience. This time, they’ll explore homegrown sparkling wines for all occasions, because life is too short, and too beautiful, to wait (or to drive to France).
Jen and Kyle will be your guides for some of the most every day, natural, and perhaps even mundane reasons to enjoy a local sparkling. Wondering what Tailgate Fizz you should be sure to pack for a Buffalo Bills game? Already dreaming of a leaf-peeping adventure with a roadside picnic that includes your favorite local bubbly that you enjoy with the perfect autumn-coded view? How about what you’re going to bring to that dinner where you’ll blind your wine-snob Aunt and Uncle and they’re going to declare, “This must be Champagne!” and you’ll grin and say…”oh, this is from my favorite local winery”? Or, perhaps a true (and necessary!) favorite – the, “Congrats! You did the laundry,” bottle.
You’ll enjoy a truly delightful flight of Finger Lakes sparkling wines along with Chef Pam Cecere’s nosh plate while Kyle and Jen share their love of all things local and bubbly.
