Chuck Johnson will lead the Champagne and Big Red #2 Tastings on Wednesday December 9 at 7PM. Chuck knows more about Sparkling wine and Champagne than most wine professionals I have met. There will be a lot of valuable information delivered in a casual, Mexico Missouri, kind of way. He promises to bring some hum-dingers. We will serve Fresh Oysters, Pickled Herring and good Potato Chips. Cost: $10 and 2 bottle purchase per person.
More on the Growers Champagne and Coastal Chilean Wine Tasting later....
I will update the Champagne Happy Hours in my next news letter....
Thank you for supporting locally owned and operated business. It has been an honor serving wine lovers in downtown Columbia for more than 20 years.
Have a great holiday season!
Best, Paul Vernon and Staff
