Wines that really sparkle topic of seminar

RICHLAND — Set the bubbles free at the sparkling wine seminar this Thursday, Nov. 5 at WSU Tri-Cities.
 
“Sparkling Wines: For Special Occasions and for Everyday Enjoyment” will be led by Wine Press Northwest editor Andy Perdue with Domaine Ste. Michelle winemaker Rick Casqueiro.
 
Learn about the different types of sparkling wines — like Brut and Extra Dry — and why it’s not all called Champagne. See how to open a bottle of sparkling wine and experience why bubbly is affordable and approachable year-round.
