La Maison Française at the French embassy is hosting it’s annual champagne tasting with some of

France’s finest champagnes from the Champagne region (not to be confused with non-Champagne sparkling wines – read more here). 

Keep watch over this list for actual participants in the Washington, DC event.

Sample twenty different French champagnes, food and desserts prepared by the French Pastry School, while being entertained by live music.

The soirée also includes a silent auction and a raffle for two round-trip tickets to Paris.  Area chefs will also present a sampling of their own creations to accompany the “sparkling” evening.
