"I recently had the privilege to meet with Serge at his restaurant, Bodega Tapas, Wine, & Rum, in Wake Forest. Together, we tasted our wines to select the ones we would highlight at our August Sip & Savor wine dinner. What a treat to witness Serge sip each wine with careful deliberation as he searched his mind through the countless possibilities to find the perfect puzzle piece to fit the wine before him. I watched with fascination and awe, as he would suddenly take his pencil to paper to pronounce, this is the one!"

First Course

The Wine:
Blanc de Blanc 2021. A sparkling wine produced by Methode de Champenoise using select Chardonnay grapes from our Clone 95, a Burgundian Chardonnay that is used to produce sparkling wine in the Champagne region of France. Bright, crisp, and wonderfully dry.

Second Course
