Low-intervention winemaking gets a refresh in this tasting that celebrates clarity, energy, and pure, unmasked fruit. These are wines made with intention—fermented wild, bottled with minimal fuss, and showing just how vibrant and expressive domestic “natural” wine can be without veering into the chaotic. No kombucha vibes, no barnyard detours—just clean, honest wines that let the grapes do the talking. If you’ve been burned by the funk before, this is your chance to experience the bright side of the movement.

Champagne has always been a land of contrasts—where centuries-old houses, independent growers, and daring winemakers shape the region’s vibrant tapestry. In this fantastic tasting, curated by our wine buyer Gary Westby, freshly returned from an energizing buying trip to Champagne, we’ll explore the diverse world of bubbly! Gary's recent discoveries and enthusiasm are reflected in this specially curated lineup, which spans exceptional values to timeless classics, culminating in the newly released Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart—a true benchmark of Champagne tradition. Join us as we dive into the flavors, stories, and unique expressions that make Champagne one of the world’s most celebrated wines.
