Cava: Spain’s Sparkling Gem

For many, Cava is a sparkling wine from Spain that offers great value. And rightfully so. But how well do you know Cava beyond that? Join wine educator and writer Michelle Bouffard in exploring the terroirs and grapes that create the nuances between different Cavas. This Spanish sparkler is much more than a wine to make a toast. It offers diversity to suit every occasion, especially at the table.

“Cava is a lot more than a bubble to go to when you’re seeking value. The different grapes and the terroir contributes to the subtle nuances between the different styles. This presentation will change the way you think about this delicious Spanish sparkler.” Michelle Bouffard
