An Evening of Bubbles -- AIS Champagne Tasting

When one travels to a place unknown it is helpful to have a guide, someone who can share their knowledge, and enhance the experience. It is the same with wine; if one is learning about wine, and there is always something new to learn, it is just as helpful to have a guide for this as well. Here in Stresa we are fortunate to have access to the wonderful events planned by AIS, the Associazione Italiana Sommeliers. Each event is presented by an expert of his area of specialization, and all bring a passion and enthusiasm that is contagious.

The next event is planned for this evening. Aperitivo a Tutto Bolle, an Aperitivo of all Bubbles, will offer the opportunity to taste and compare three fabulous champagnes: De Saint Gall Brut Blanc d Blancs, De Saint Gall Brut Tradition, and De Saint Gall Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs. There will be a buffet of aperitivi accompanying the bubbly, and at 16 euro per person, what a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

The Degustazione Champagne, sponsored by AIS, will be held this evening at Mary Lee Cafe, in Crusinallo, Via IV Novembre, 72, at 19.00. Call +339 831 89 37 for information.
