Celebrate With Champagne!

 A glass of champagne is my favorite way to start off any meal, evening or event! In my opinion, it sets a celebratory tone for the rest of the evening. Whether you are on a tight budget, or don’t even know what the word budget means, there is a champagne for you.

I recently learned that *gasp* not everyone loves champagne as much as me. Ed (the husband) falls into that category. To avoid any undrunk glasses (pun intended) when pre-pouring champagne, celebrating with a champagne toast, or starting out a meal with a glass, pour only a smidgen in each guests glass. It is better to let them come back for seconds!

If you already enjoy champagne – then you will love the following (these are my favorites):

Perrier Jouet Fluer de Champagne ($129)

Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label ($49.99)

Cristalino Brut Cava ($7.99)

If you are new to champagne then I recommend starting out with a rose. It is a bit sweeter then a regular brut and looks beautiful when served. My recommendations:

Moet & Chandon Rose Imperial ($52.99) 

 Mumm Napa Brut Rose ($26.99)

Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs ($18.99)

Ed and I always keep a bottle of nice champagne in our refrigerator. We celebrated with champagne the day we got engaged and carried the theme throughout every wedding event including the big day!
