Extra Brut (dry) Champagnes and Oysters (Oct. 18)
Celebrate the crisp, cool days of autumn with crisp, cool Extra Brut champagnes. With little or no sugar added during the wine making process, these champagnes allow the character of the grapes to show through. This wine style was unheard of in the early days of champagne making when sugar was considered necessary to balance the wine. Now, modern grape growing and wine making techniques give champagne makers the ability to strip their product down to its pure, bare essence. A bit austere, yes, but the perfect match for the clean, oceanic taste of fresh oysters. Whether champagne and oysters fulfill their reputation as aphrodisiacs will be for you to judge.

Gourmet Champagnes and Foie Gras (Nov. 15)
There is an unofficial class of champagnes that are a little bit more refined than your typical Non-Vintage, maybe because of a stricter selection of grapes or a bit more aging. We call these "gourmet champagnes" because their added complexity makes them ideal wines for dining. That's right - champagnes that can be enjoyed throughout a meal! We will pair the champagnes with foie gras prepared three ways to highlight how they stand up to and enhance full-flavored cuisine.

Prestige Cuvée Champagnes and Petrossian Caviars (Dec. 13)
A 'Prestige Cuvée' is a champagne at the very top of a producer's range. It is the highest quality, the most refined - and the most expensive - champagne that the house offers. What makes these champagnes so special? Since there are no official guidelines for designating a Prestige Cuvée as there are for other categories of French champagne, this question can only be answered by understanding a champagne house's wine making philosophy and tasting the end result of the wine maker's best effort. This tasting will feature Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Dom Perignon and Krug Grande Cuvée. The decadence does not end there, as we will pair these defining Prestige Cuvée champagnes with three caviars from Petrossian Paris.
