Celebrate the season of gratitude at the next AVID Vines Virtual Champagne Tasting & Cave Tour.

Saturday, November 21st at 5pm ET / 4pm CT 

If this is your first organic champagne experience, you’re in for a treat, and if you’ve joined us previously, get ready for an upgrade. We’re tasting new bubbles and gourmet cuisine, and it’s all available in more cities than ever before, along with an amazing lineup of artists in music, food, and wine.

We provide the experience at no cost via Zoom, and you order the champagne and food. Absolutely #NoRegrets.

All orders must be placed by November 17th to ensure on time delivery.

The Bubbles
For the first time in our ongoing tasting series, we’re featuring André TIXIER & Fils Premier Cru Brut Chardonnay. It uses the name of the grape varietal instead of the traditional term, Blanc de Blanc – just the initial indication that this glossy champagne makes an unforgettable first impression.

Our online retailer, Roots and Water, is offering a $10 discount on this champagne just for this event! Use Roots and Water Discount Code: PATRICE2020 for free shipping on 3 bottles!

The Chef & Her Gourmet Cuisine
Chef Jennie Kelley, Dallas, TX, a culinary artist, is treating us to her original and outstanding dish that qualified her for Season 2 of MasterChef: Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese! She will join us to share her tasting notes on how this magical dish pairs with the champagne.

More Cities
We’re expanding, and now offer food delivery in more cities than ever before. Invite family and friends elsewhere to participate in the gratitude and tasting! Along with delivery in Atlanta; the Dallas metro area; and Summit County, CO, Jennie’s Mac ‘n Cheese can be shipped to the following states: AL, AR, DE, CT, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MS, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, VA, WI, WV, NE, DC.

Place your order via our partner and sommelier, Queen of Grapes, for delivery or purchase the recipe and make it yourself.

The Musician
We buried the headline! Singer/Songwriter Daniel Hunter Jones, a veteran of American Idol and The Voice, will join us with a live performance of his music inspired by the emotional experience of those high-profile competitions. We’ll open the Zoom early the day of the tasting to enjoy Daniel’s music!

Our lineup of artists also includes:

  • David Aferiat (@avid_vines), Owner, AVID Vines, Atlanta, GA Passionate about organic and sustainable sparkling wines and champagne, David created Avid Vines so he could travel to the places where the best is made. His dream of importing something special to pour in the U.S. came true when he signed an importer agreement with Andre TIXIER & Fils on the back of a napkin on his first visit!

    With Avid Vines focused on the highest quality bubbles and deep connections to history, culture, ancestry, and geography, related to food and wine, David helps prioritize their wellness to by celebrating life rather than regreting it the next day – so they can be present in every moment to nourish relationships and experience gratitude.

  • Heather Queen, The Queen of Grapes, Dallas, TX Quite simply, Heather is as bubbly as the champagne she drinks every single day and shares her expertise and tasting notes to help others get the most out of every sip. She is a Certified Sommelier/WSET Level 3 with 35 years of experience in the food and beverage industry in Dallas, Atlanta, and Newport Beach/Laguna Beach, California.  

  • Julien Tixier, the winemaker himself, from Andre TIXIER & Fils, will also visit us all the way from France! He’ll walk us through the caves and talk about the harvest and the wines currently aging to perfection.
