Champagne isn’t just for special occasions, Champagne makes every occasion special.

My daughter Molly is the true Champagne lover in our family, but I do love a good bottle of bubbly. Locally, we host a hugely popular Champagne Tasting each December in our store. What does that mean to our online clients? Great access to fabulous sparklings as we stock up each holiday season. However, I've always said: "Champagne isn't just for special occasions, Champagne makes every occasion special." With so many options, there’s no excuse to let the bubbles fade out at New Year’s Eve.
