#ChampagneDay 2019

#ChampagneDay 2019

Today is #ChampagneDay. I distinctly remember the turning point for me in regards to champagne. It was April 2016, I was with Claire from Up in the Air Life and we were at C. Comme in Epernay having a champagne pairing lunch with some exquisite champagne gems. I had just transitioned from a decade of beauty blogging to wine writing. Needless to say it was a hell of a transition. I was starting completely over, although I had spent years drinking, studying, visiting regions, and understanding wine. I think about that moment often and especially on my return to the Champagne region every year. That day, everything clicked.

In honor of this epic day, I toast to life. I usually reserve my Mondays for “ Champagne Mondays,” but since it’s Friday, it’s toasting to the good life. The good, the bad, the ups, and the down. I hope you are enjoying an exquisite glass, glasses, or bottles of champagne.

In gratitude for the monk (Dom Pérignon) and women (Madame Clicquot | Madame Pommery) who helped put champagne in my glass and in my life, thank you.

And from me and my bottle of Vincent Couche Rosé Désir have a great “champagne” day.

Santé. Cheers! Salud! Cin Cin! Saúde! Gānbēi!
