There is something so festive about that pop-fizz when opening a bottle (or three) of sparkling wine! No event is as special, no dinner as romantic, no Sunday Funday brunch as...fun...without the celebratory carbonation from a bottle of bubbles. Ever wonder why we've come to mark such occasions with a glass? In the simplest terms, it's literally the bubbles! Carbon dioxide zooms alcohol around the bloodstream and accelerates its effects. Connected to this, the elegant sufficiency of sparkling wine offers one of the nicest, classiest, warm-buzziest feelings available in all of the wine and spirits world. Accompanied by citrus and apple aromas with subtle notes of brioche and almond pastry, F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best when he wrote: "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."

Included: Three bottles of champagne, donated by Tom Kobylarz of Apex Wine Solutions & George Allen, Frankie Lemmon's own Director of Hospitality (Not include: an excuse to pop these three bottles, though we're confident you'll find some!).
