Celebrate Family, Friends, and Living to the Fullest!
You are in the right place if you want to have some fun, drink champagne, follow our journey, hear great stories, and learn something new and laugh while you're at it.
Let's recognize and celebrate the little things in life ... with Champagne. I want you to find joy in life's little moments and share them with family and friends. By all means, you should celebrate the big moments too.
Life is more enjoyable when we look for the good in one another, beauty in nature, and we prioritize time with family and friends.
Salud!
Veuve Clicquot | Brut
Enjoying: Light yellow color, small bubbles, fresh citrus and toast notes, refreshing green pear and green apple notes with a smooth finish.
Celebrating: Done with diapers after 11 years. This champagne is one of my go-to's because it's easy to enjoy by most people. I've had several vintage bottles to celebrate promotions, the birth of each of my boys, and large format bottles for fun with friends and family.
Hervieux Dumez | Rose Extra Brut Premier Cru
Enjoying: King salmon red color, strawberry, rhubarb, huge bubbles; scent of fresh strawberries and spring fruit with some minerality. Acidity is balanced with strawberry lingering notes; not sweet at all. A smooth fresh strawberry lingering finish.
Celebrating: Grandma's 96th birthday, 90% complete with the airstream renovation making it road-ready. Our Boys finishing another school year.
Mathieu-Gandon | Esprit Saveur
Enjoying: Medium bubbles, nose opens up with some minerality and green apple skins. Light golden pear color with crisp freshness on the palate as the bubbles just open up inside. It's mouth-watering goodness and the green apple, honeysuckle, and pear come through. Light minerality and a smooth finish.
Celebrating: A month owning Airffervescence, crossing over 200 hours and being 90% complete with the entire retrofit with 0 injuries, and being alive in general.
Philippe Gonet | Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru Millesime (2006)
Enjoying: Small to medium bubbles, rich gold color, the bubles are jumping off the glass - very fun. Nose of bread, low floral, medium minerality, and fresh lemon. Tasting the lemon bread with minerality, a great balance of acidity and lemon notes with minerality. Lasting mineral finish. Definitely something I'd enjoy again for special occassions.
Celebrating: My 40th birthday, so I got a large format 1.5L bottle to share..
Kirkland Signature | Brut
Enjoying: Light pink salmon color, big bubbles, pear and grean apple nose, low minerality and acidity. Some toastiness and a hint of brioche. Medium lingering finish; not the smoothest, but great value.
Celebrating: In-Between Birthday Celebration. Gonzaga playing in the elite 8. Go-to champagne that can't be beat on price.
Piper Heidsieck | Cuvee Brut
Enjoying: Light apple juice color with small bubbles. Toasty with some sweetness; fresh pear and apple and maybe even a little honey flavor. Something I would buy again.
Celebrating: Thursday before Christmas chilling at home with the family and about to go into our new hot tub.
Charles Ellner | Carte Blanche Brut
Enjoying: Light pear color, medium to big bubbles, pear and fresh fruit on the nose. Toast and fresh fruit nose with a sweet and fresh finish. Something for everyday celebrations.
Celebrating: Selling the X5 M; it was a trusty companion that kept mine and I safe for the last 6 years.
