Champagne Dreams and Valentine’s Wishes

Champagne means celebration, which is why Astoria Cafe & Market is collaborating with Vintage Wines today to create a love-filled experience. Sparklers such as Champagne Drappier (Brut Rose) and Louis Roederer (Brut Premier) will be paired with dishes like a Smoked Spanish Octopus Carpaccio. The bubbles will flow from 7 to 9 p.m., and tickets are $100; purchase them at Astoria's bar or at Eventbrite.com. (Whelan)
