Champagne Seminar - Two Regions. Two Distinct Styles.

  • Eastern Standard Kitchen and Drinks (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

From the powerful, structured Champagnes of Montagne de Reims to the elegant, mineral-driven wines of Côte des Blancs, where Champagne comes from makes a difference in what's in your glass.

Join the Boston Sommelier Society and Cynthia Hurley Fine Wines for a special side-by-side tasting exploring two of Champagne's most celebrated regions. Discover how terroir and grape varieties shape each region's distinctive style — and which you prefer!

Côte des Blancs: chalk-soaked slopes and Chardonnay, known for elegance, white floral notes, and minerality.

Montagne de Reims: Pinot Noir territory, delivering full-body, red fruit complexity. 

Featured Producers:

  • Côte des Blancs: Petitjean-Pienne, Hervé Dubois

  • Montagne de Reims: Hervé Dubois, Michel Arnould, Penet-Chardonnet

Seats are limited, so reserve your place early!
