La Fête du Champagne

Get schooled on bubbly at this three-day wine bacchanal, hosted by Champagne Guide writer Peter Liem and Daniel Boulud's wine director Daniel Johnnes. At Saturday's walk-around Grand Tasting ($350), sample more than 120 wines ranging from a crowd-pleasing Dom Pérignon Rosé 2004 to a lesser-known Millésimé 1980 from Marie-Noëlle Ledru, whose tiny estate has been lauded as one of the best-kept secrets in Ambonnay, all while snacking on dishes including arctic char from Maialino and oysters from Rebelle. Need a champs refresher? Hyperfocused workshops ($100) include a seminar on the sparkling wine's primary grape varietals at Daniel.
