Wine as a universal language: méthode champenoise


 

Celebrate Francophonie with the Language of Bubbles

Méthode champenoise, the traditional craft behind the world’s finest sparkling wines, has made France famous—but today, this art inspires winemakers across the globe. Join us for a special tasting in honor of International Francophonie Month, where we explore sparkling wines from France, Italy, Spain, and Oregon, appreciating each as a unique accent in the universal language of wine.

Because wine isn’t just made — it’s shared.

Guiding us on this journey is Tina Rivara of Banville Wine Merchants. Family-owned, Banville Wine Merchants meticulously selects leading wine, beer, and spirits partners that share their commitments to integrity, authenticity, and family.

Featured wines will include:

  • Champagne Franck Pascal Fluence Brut Nature, France
  • Goutorbe Bouillot Noir Coteaux Brut, France
  • Cesarini Sforza Brut Classico Trento DOC, Italy
  • Vins El Cep Gelida Cava Brut Gran Reserva, Spain
  • Llopart Brut Reserva CORPINNAT, Spain
  • Bjornson Sparkling Brut, Oregon
