Event: Special Winemaking demo: Disgorging sparkling wine

First class I take of the many free offered by Curs&Wine (with zero pressure to buy absolutely anything from their store). I saw the event on the Event section on Unilocal and could not resist to learn something about the methode Champagnoise… after all I come from the ‘cava land’ (the Catalan ‘champagne’ which I think tastes even better than the famous French denomination of origin spirits:) and I must learn the lingo!
So some friend and I signed up (after all, there are people whose Sunday afternoon is not necessarily spent on the beach!) and went there with open mind and eager to learn. And we did. Ed and Carrie Little, the instructors, did a great job in providing materials, on screen presentation, real demo and, hey, free tasting after all! We were around 15 people and we all had so much fun. My group consisting in 2 Spaniards, 1 Italo-​Spaniard, 1 Chinese and 1 Korean were the most novice. The rest seemed to be already experienced in the bubbling drink preparations.
Now I now after the fermentation phases, the ridding, the disgorging and the dosage, plus the various names the champagne bottles have, coming from the Bible! (so interesting anecdote, at least for us!). Also that the bottle neck is bigger here than in the European bottles (don’t we do everything bigger after all?). Lots of learning, demo of utensils that are handy for the champagne making process (and that you can buy at the store) and tasting of some of the bottles from the Little couple. Awesome day, tons of parking, learning space located just next to the store. Thanks!
