Kick Off Inauguration Weekend with a Champagne Tasting
Regardless of your party affiliation, start your Inauguration Weekend with a fun Champagne and Other Bubbles Festival, hosted by local wine aficionados, GiraMondo Wine Adventures.
Sample ten non-partisan champagnes from France, Spain, Italy, and the USA, including one of my personal favorites - Veuve Cliquot from France, along with a patriotic selection of red, white and blue appetizers and hors d’oeuvres.
You can also listen in on the brief champagne educational presentations offered at 7:00 and at 8:00.
The event should be both educational and very fun. But them, with lots of bubbly champagne, how can it not be?
