Drinking the Stars @ City Grill
City Grill is pleased to present a tasting of Sparkling Wines from
Around the World on December 15, 2004. The restaurant will offer
a sampling of light hors doeuvres for the holiday season to
compliment these sparkling
wines that have been compared to drinking the stars. Speaker John
Poplin of Atlanta Wholesale Wines will entertain questions throughout
the event. The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with a social gathering
for $19 per person
including wine tasting and tapas.
Sparkling Wines have launched ships, toasted weddings & special
occasions, attended countless parties, and shared untold special
moments between people. City Grill will celebrate this years
holiday season with a little fizz from around the world. The restaurant
will start in France with a rare Blanc de Blanc, made entirely from
chardonnay grapes for a lighter and more elegant wine, before moving
on to very dry Champagne. Another Blanc de
Blanc from California comes from Jepson Vineyards, the sole producer
of estate still wines, champagnes, and brandies in North America.
Touring the world, the Spanish consider their Cava Brut to be the
equivalent of talking with God so it served to everyone at baptisms,
including the baby whose pacifier is dipped in the wine. The Italians
ask that we consider sharing a split of the bubbly for breakfast
as it is the perfect size for two and goes so well with orange juice.
Sparkling Wines that will be featured:
· Vueve de Vernay, Blanc de Blancs, France, NV
· Duval-Leroy, Brut, Champagne, France, NV
· Jepson, Blanc de Blanc, Mendocino, California, NV
· Mezza Corona, Rotari Brut, Italy, NV
· Avinyo, Cava Brut, Spain, NV
City Grill will feature Sparkling Wines from Around the World throughout
the entire month of December on the wine list. The wines will also
be paired with complimentary dishes on the Chefs Tasting Menu
on December 15th for
those who would like to experience a meal dedicated to the delights
of Sparkling Wines. The cost is $90 per person or $60 per person
