Last Monday I held a Sparkling Wines of the World seminar over Zoom. It seems to be the thing these days for get-togethers. I wasn’t sure how many people, if any would even show up. When I go in front of people, I tend to get a little nervous. Nervous I am going to leave something out, but if you run into me on the street, I’ll vomit at the mouth with information. I guess the more I do these the more I won’t get nervous.

Here are the video and audio of the seminar. It is an introductory seminar discussing many of the different sparkling wines around the world and how they are made. We touch on Champagne, Cremant, Prosecco, Asti, Franciacorta, Cava, Espumante and Sekt. I also explain the different methods used to produce sparkling wine so that you have a better understanding of what is in the bottle.

I might do some more of these in the future. I have a big list of subjects. So stay tuned. I hope you enjoy!
