United We Taste: Session 15 Bubbles Edition

Sparkling wine comes in many fashions and forms and we are excited for August UWT Session 15 we are going to dive deep into some of our guest favorite Bubbles around the world.

Well, Filipe would not let us move forward without making sure we cover Sparkling Wine. So without further ado we are bringing back some of our guests and new guest who specialize in Sparkling wines.

United WE TASTE: The goal is to inspire connection, promote peer wine education, and provide hope to the wine community near and far. And if you have the means and if it’s available to you, please SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WINE SHOPS and POP SHOPS* during these times and to promote more virtual connection.
