Celebrating Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin

Join bestselling author, Dr. Tilar Mazzeo, and Women of the Vine & Spirits^™Ambassador Kristin Campbell, for an intimate professional development reception celebrating Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin and the 10-year anniversary of "The Widow Clicquot". Enjoy Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label & bites as you discover how this visionary young widow built the legendary champagne empire and became such smashing a success long before anyone conceptualized the glass ceiling.

PART 2: CELEBRATING 200 YEARS OF VEUVE CLICQUOT ROSÉ

The First Known Blended Rosé Champagne

Exactly 200 years ago, Madame Clicquot innovated and completely re-created the rosé champagne of the time. She had an audacious new vision in which color, taste, and aroma were vital to the quality. So she broke with accepted norms and re-created the process of making rosé champagne; the first rose d’assemblage (blended rose champagne), a method used by over 90% of the industry today.

Join bestselling author, Dr. Tilar Mazzeo, and Champagne Specialist, Connie Poon, for an evening celebrating Veuve Clicquot Rosé. Hear the story of the legendary champagne house and the inspiration that created the first known blended rosé. Then taste through all four quality levels of rosé from Brut Non-Vintage, Vintage, to La Grande Dame and their newest innovation, Rich.  After the tasting, cap off the evening with bubbles, bites and a book signing reception with the speakers. Each ticket includes a copy of "The Widow Clicquot". Additional copies and wines tasted will be available for purchase to take home.
