Champagne For New Year's Eve
Wednesday December 26, 2007
“Come quickly, I am tasting stars,” Dom Perignon’s famous quote after his first taste of Champagne, and a fairly apt description of what a good Champagne experience should offer. Is Champagne truly a wine? Where do the bubbles come from? How do I serve Champagne? Any Champagne suggestions? Read on for answers to these questions and more.

Just once I would like to try a bottle of Dom… I think it’s going to move up on my priority list.
What about Bollinger? That said, this is a great list that should cover everyone’s champagne needs.
That said, since it is almost New Year’s, here are a few more fantastic splurges courtesy of 3Luxe: http://www.3luxe.com/category/Wine/Bubbly
By the way, this is probably obvious, but if you’re spending on a great bottle, make sure it is the first thing you drink that evening! Don’t save it for midnight after everyone has already had a few cocktails; then you won’t get the full experience.
