Wine Tasting Event: A Bubblicious Tasting Tuesday!

Cost: $30 in advance, $35 at the door, for a flight of five wines and some scrumptious appetizer pairings

Since opening in January Après has earned a reputation for a wine selection second to none in the Tahoe basin. Part of that acclaim stems from our selection of small production grower/producer Champagnes. In France, nearly 80% of Champagne grapes are snapped up by the big names like Dom Perignon, Veuve Clicquot and Cristal. The remaining 20%, literally the best of the bunch, are kept by growers to make small production, high quality boutique Champagnes. Known as grower/producer Champagnes, they have a cult following amongst sparkling wine aficionados because of their sumptuous aromas, intense fruit, bracing acidity, and distinctly different personalities.
The big guys would like you to believe a great bottle of Champagne costs north of $200. In reality, without their fancy labels and advertising expenses, you can purchase fine grower producer Champagnes for a fraction the price!
Please join us, taste the bubbly, nibble on great food pairings, and learn how to select a sensational bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine.
We’re bubbling over with excitement to see you!
