Who doesn’t love Champagne? Especially when you have the opportunity to taste 18-21 different bottlings side by side…Yes - you read that correctly, we taste them blind and we taste a huge set of top producers. The crowd literally roars with excitement when we reveal! It’s as much fun as you can have wine tasting! These luxurious tasting events give you great insights as we cover the details of each wine after it is revealed…. And go into depth about the history, the legend and the Laws of the Champagne Region… and ultimately why? It's important to protect the brand Champagne. We discuss what you're smelling, tasting, and discuss the “why” - house styles, house philosophies and the subtle differences. “We are educating and improving the passionate wine lovers of Los Angeles” says Host Educator Ian Blackburn. This is a tasting program that has been perfected by Blackburn and he loves the spontaneous excitement this event creates! It must be seen to be believed….

ABOUT IAN BLACKBURN, WINE EDUCATOR - 25 YEARS OF INDUSTRY SERVICE
Ian discovered the wine industry at the ripe age of 21 while working for famous chefs such as Thomas Keller and Joachim Splichal in the top dining rooms of Los Angeles. The discovery of wine and his endless need for knowledge quickly engulfed Ian’s life. His passion would eventually redirect his career from restaurants and hotels to vineyards and education. In 1995 LearnAboutWine.com was born, becoming the first website dedicated to wine education.
With over 25-years of experience traveling the wine world, Ian is a published author (Wiley Publications, 2002), has 10 vintages of top level winemaking on his resume at Beekeeper Cellars, and is considered one of the region's best wine educators. Ian’s push to evolve and his ability to pivot has produced a strata of new concepts such as, ZoomIntoWine.com (virtual education), MerchantofWine.com (the family’s online wine store), and now the return of in-person gatherings with LearnAboutWine.com. Ian maintains high levels of entertainment and enthusiasm at his events by using all the great gathering spots in LA as potential venues. All while making a name for himself in the wine industry, Ian has never forgotten to give back to the community. Over the last few years he has raised over $650,000 for the T.J. Martell Foundation, which donates to the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to help fund research to cure cancer in children. The combined charity efforts of LearnAboutWine have raised over a million dollars for a variety of causes throughout Los Angeles and beyond.
