It's rare opportunity to compare 30 Champagnes at one sitting, but that's what
Arlequin Wine Merchant will be pouring next Thursday evening at its annual holiday Champagne event.
Sip bubbly from 30 well-known and cult Champagne producers, most of them
grower-producers. They include Krug, Pol Roger, Gosset, Jacquesson, Larmandier-Bernier, Paul Bara, Vilmart, and Agrapart et Fils. After the party, it's easy to drift over to the adjoining Arlequin Café, which is open until eight. Later than that, you can try Absinthe, which stays open until midnight.

When: Thurs., Dec. 9, 6-8 p.m.
