Sure you can use it for a whole host of celebrations, but many characteristics of champagne go well with everyday foods. Its appeal comes as much from its bubbles as its taste. After all, the Benedictine Monk Dom Perignon is reputed to have exclaimed when drinking champagne, "It's like drinking the stars!" You'll explore some of these stars-selections from Moët & Chandon, Veuve Cliquot, and Champagne Krug-at a tasting in the Danny Kaye Theatre, led by Master of Wine Charles Curtis. Then you'll savor dinner in the Escoffier Restaurant with some sparkling pairings.
