" Come quickly, I am tasting stars! "

So said the famous 17th century Monk Dom Pérignon upon his first taste of Champagne. And we heartily agree. With that sentiment in mind, we invite you to join Rita Jammet for a tasting of La Caravelle’s "stars"

1194 Lexington Ave @ 81st Street, New York
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

You can taste all three La Caravelle Champagnes as well as the signature La Caravelle Listrac 2005.

Bubble Factoids

Here is a delicious way to test your Champagne knowledge:
Answer one of these questions correctly to win* a bottle of La Caravelle Rosé Champagne

- About how many bubbles are there in one bottle of Champagne?
Hint: Think big – way big.

- How many pounds of pressure per square inch is in a bottle of Champagne?
Hint: It’s more than your car tires.
