Instead of blindly grabbing a bottle of champagne for a hostess gift or for your New Year's Eve Party, why not educate yourself so you can make informed purchasing decisions this holiday season? In December, the four locations of the Wine Discount Center are hosting Holiday Champagne Tastings. Walk-around tastings will feature Dom Perignon, Perrier-Jouet Fleur, Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Krug Grande Cuvée, Roederer Brut Premiere, and more. With more than 30 champagnes and sparkling wines to taste, you're bound to find a bottle within your budget that pleases the palate. The price for the tasting is $35 per person (includes truffle oil popcorn for snacking between sips), and it goes from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the following dates:
December 4 – 1350 Old Skokie Road, Highland Park, 847-831-1049
December 10 – 311 East Main Street, Barrington, 847-277-0033
December 11 – 1826 N. Elston Avenue, Chicago, 773-489-3454
