Bubbles for the Holidays!!

The holiday season is a time for celebration, and champagne is a popular beverage of choice for many. Whether you're looking for a high-end champagne to mark a special occasion or a more approachable option for casual gatherings, there are plenty of choices to consider. 

By the way, we love champagne with all kinds of food (seafood, fried chicken, spicy food, etc) and is more than just for a quick toast at midnight. 

High-End Champagnes: 

When it comes to high-end champagnes, names like Dom Perignon and Krug often come to mind. These prestigious champagnes are typically reserved for special occasions and are known for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Dom Perignon is produced by Moet & Chandon and is named after the Benedictine monk who is often credited with discovering the champagne-making process. Krug, on the other hand, is known for its rich and complex flavors, thanks to its unique production methods, including fermentation in small oak barrels. These won't disappoint! Yum!! 

More Approachable Options: 

If you're looking for a more approachable champagne that still offers great quality, there are plenty of options to consider. Ruinart Rose and Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blanc are two examples of champagnes that are well-regarded but are often more affordable than their high-end counterparts. Ruinart Rose is known for its delicate, fruity flavors, while Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blanc is a type of champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, resulting in a crisp and elegant taste. Solid choices! 

Blanc de Blanc:

Blanc de Blanc is a term used to describe champagnes that are made exclusively from white grapes, typically Chardonnay. This style of champagne is known for its light and crisp flavors, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a more delicate taste. Blanc de Blanc champagnes are often a great option for pairing with seafood or light appetizers. 

Lower-End Examples and Spanish Cava:

If you're looking for lower-end champagne options, there are plenty of choices to consider. Piper-Heidsieck's Brut Non-Vintage is a great affordable option that still offers great quality and flavor. This champagne is known for its fresh and lively taste, making it a great choice for casual gatherings. In addition to champagne, Spanish Cava is another great option to consider for all budgets. Cava is a sparkling wine that is produced in Spain using the traditional champagne method, and it offers great quality at a more affordable price point. 

Whether you're looking for a high-end champagne to mark a special occasion or a more approachable option for casual gatherings, there are plenty of choices to consider. From prestigious names like Dom Perignon and Krug to more affordable options like Ruinart Rose and Spanish Cava, there's a champagne out there for every taste and budget. 

Cheers to the holiday season! #drinkwhatyoulove #bubbles
