Sparkling

Whether or not the great myth surrounding the 17th-century Benedictine monk Dom Pérignon running from the cellar and hollering into the abbey halls to his monastic brothers & sisters ‘Venez vite, je goûte les étoiles!’*, after having accidentally made the earliest sparkling wine known to humankind, is to believed–there’s no denying the loveliness of a Champagne dancing against the buds of your tongue.  From ancestral method pet nats & charmatte-made bangers, all the way to long-aged, hand-riddled méthode traditionnelle wonders; as an apéritif over mezedes or sipped between planting kisses on your new beau’s lips, everyone loves a little bubbly.

*‘Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!’
