A champagne tasting you’ll want on your radar

Dorothy Lane Market's Champagne Soirée has been a staple of December celebrating for many years now.

What originally started as part of DLM's weekly wine tasting program became so popular that it grew into a major event, and the only one that takes place at the original store.

Although the store is open for business as usual, the DLM staff sets up food and wine tables in nearly every part of the store, mixing grand food with brilliant drink.

At the Dec. 27 event, the bubbly was flowing steadily as they served up 40 Champagnes and sparkling wines with a full menu of hot and cold appetizers.

A large crowd attended celebrating the end of the year and researching bottles to celebrate New Year's Eve with while enjoying a fresh seafood bar, cheese and charcuterie station, lobster macaroni and cheese and more.

One very fun group got very into the theme with coordinated T-shirts that said, "save water, drink champagne."

That was definitely the idea at this very spirited event.
