Champagne Portfolio of Grand Cru Selections

Grand Cru Selections started in 2009, founded by the NYC restaurateurs and sommeliers Robert Bohr and Ned Benedict. The Champagne portfolio at GCS is among the very best in the country as they are working with true vignerons that are an active part of the revolution happening in Champagne.

Joao Alves de Sa is a native from Portugal that moved to Chicago 7 years ago and after managing the wine programs at Next Restaurant and Verve Wine, he decided to embrace the challenge of wine distribution and joined the Grand Cru Selections opening team in Illinois.

João will join Michael Seward as we explore their impressive grower champagne portfolio. We are very excited to offer tastes of the following wines:
