Facebook page (see the FAQs below for more info).  Here are the three sessions: \n\nFriday\, April 24\, 5pm start: “Under Pressure”\nBubbly Wenzel will provide so much information about pressure\, it might just make your head explode! Differences in creating pressure.  How does pressure change?  Using sparkling wine stoppers. How long does a bottle keep after opening?\nBundle 1 wines: ISC Brut & AHW Mardi Gras   Bundle 2 wines:  ISC Brut and ISC Demi Sec Rosé\nCarry out dinner suggestion:  Cajun food or fried chicken\n\n\nFriday\, May 1\, 5pm start:  “Why can’t I call it Champagne”\nDiscussion on the different processes of getting bubbles in the bottle.  Is it Champagne?  Is it Sparkling Wine? Or is it Neither?\nBundle 1 & 2 wines: ISC Pét Nat & ISC Sec.\nCarry out dinner suggestion: Pizza or shrimp/fish\nFriday\, May 8\, 5pm start:  “Popping your bubble”\nPerfecting the Bubble.  How do bubbles form?  What pops your bubble?\nBundle 1 wines: ISC Brut Ombré Rosé & AHW Almond Infusion   Bundle 2 wines:  ISC Brut Ombré Rosé & ISC Ensemble\nCook-out/carryout suggestion:  Burgers or brats with fries\n\n  \n FAQ’s\n\nWhy is Bubbly Wenzel doing this?  First\, it’s about education and these are topics that our staff and many customers enjoy Bubbly Wenzel talking about. Secondly\, we are in some strange times and Bubbly Wenzel needs to get out of the vineyard and winery and start selling more wine.  Finally\, let’s have a BUBBLY Good Time!\nWhy are you sending glassware? You’ll be the first to try out our new ISC flight glasses\, which are perfect for enjoying bubbles. Bubbly Wenzel really enjoys bubbles out of these glasses\, and we think you’ll love them as much as we do! If you prefer your own glassware\, that is perfectly fine.\nWhy are you sending sparkling wine stoppers?  No fear\, you won’t have to drink all your bubbles that evening.  Unfortunately sparkling wine corks can not fit back into the bottle\, but Bubbly Wenzel will talk about how these stoppers will keep bubbles in your wine.\nCan I purchase my own wines for the tasting?  Sure\, anyone can follow this tasting\, but Bubbly Wenzel will be focusing on the wines selected for the two options of the Fizz Fanatic Bundles.\nCan I add to my order?  Of course you can add wines to your order\, and you can save more!  If you make your order a full case shipment\, you will get the case shipment discount on the bundle and the additional wine you purchase. Call us at the Tasting Room at 815-667-5211 if you want to add additional wines to your order.\nI have never used Facebook Live\, how do I use that? You will need to have a Facebook account to join in the fun live. On the day and time of the event\, simply go to this link: https://www.facebook.com/IllinoisSparklingCo/live/  .
