Champagne Armand de Brignac was introduced in 2006 by Shawn ”Jay Z” Carter and developed a cult following by collectors, artists, athletes and nobility who savor its hand-crafted vintage blend, according to the company.

The event will also include a rare opportunity to meet the proprietor behind Passmore, a boutique Northern California farm that operates one of the nation’s few caviar producers, who will be serving up the delicacy in between supplying leading chefs around the world.
