  • LiquidStoryteller: 30 min wine class--Austria
    2024/12/23

    Any discussion about Austrian wines in the DC Metro area, must start with a shout out to the one and only Klaus Wittauer and KWSelections. As an Austrian native, he was one of the first to champion Austrian wine in the USA eventually leading him to start his own import company, which has become the gateway for many wine fans, retailers and restauranteurs to explore this area. The LiquidStoryteller (Nick Materese) is joined by George Photinakis of The Bottle Shop/Beers and Cheers Too and William Van Laaten of Lakewood Country Club/ Downtown Crown Wine & Beer for a quick introduction to Austria, some of its grapes and regions as well as why we are excited to drink all the wines coming from Europe's only nation with vineyards in its capital city!

  • LiquidStoryteller Project: Champagne in Six Glasses
    2024/12/23

    Champagne! The name alone invokes luxury, celebrations, joie de vivre, lifestyles of the rich and famous (admit it, some of you just heard Robin Leech repeat that phrase in your head...)

    It's a stunning drink but not always beloved; sometimes misunderstood and under appreciated...but not on this night!

    The LiquidStoryteller was joined by Janet Cam from Les Dames Escoffier,, restauranteur and owner of Beauty Champagne & Sugar Bar, Zena Polin and our very special guest Baptiste Marchal of Champagne Brimoncourt

    “Champagne Brimoncourt was founded in 2008 by Alexandre Cornot, an audacious modern-day entrepreneur, who decided to revive this dormant name and build a Champagne House from scratch.

    Promoting luxury à la Française, he chose Louis XV’s regent, Philippe d’Orleans as the figurehead of the house. He is known to be the first one who brought Sparkling Wines of Champagne to the royal court of France. For three centuries, Champagne has been synonym of fine tables, subtlety and inspired savoir-vivre. Brimoncourt is our tribute to these for-ever Champagne values: elegance, independence, sharing and lightness.

    Following this philosophy, the House has turned towards a search for modern excellence nourished by deep roots in history.

    In this episode we take a deep dive into the world of sparkling wine, beginning with Prosecco and Cava before moving on to the delicious wines of Champagne Brimoncourt!

    Wines featured:

    Villa Chiopris Prosecco

    Bodegas Ondarre Cava Millenium

    BRIMONCOURT BRUT REGENCE

    BRIMONCOURT EXTRA BRUT

    BRIMONCOURT BLANC DE BLANC

    BRIMONCOURT BRUT ROSÈ
