Bubbles, bubbles – I love bubbles. Why? Because \u200bbubbles can be served on their own or with food. In fact, bubbles go with everything. My favourite champagne pairings are: hot buttered truffle salt popcorn; Miss Vicky\u2019s Sea Salt kettle chips; Pringles Plain; Juke fried chicken; Rodney\u2019s oysters on the half shell, Provence seared scallops, Caf\u00e9 St. Thomas lobster benny \u2013 and so much more!<\/p>\n

Christmas Morning Bubbles<\/strong> should pop with the first present. An excellent choice for sparkling wine in the morning is something light, somewhat fruity, low alcohol and aromatically pretty that brings a smile. Another option is something refreshing with persistent bubbles that won\u2019t be offended by a splash of orange juice (Mimosa). Pre-breakfast bubbles can easily turn into Brunch Bubbles so an extra bottle might come in handy.<\/div>\n

BUBBLES, BUBBLES \u2013 I LOVE BUBBLES.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christmas Dinner Bubbles<\/strong>\u00a0are the most important sip of the celebration and the best way to start the evening. Here you want something that provides the perfect refreshing sip when toasting and pair-ability when noshing on the appies. It\u2019s also a time to saber. Grab your flutes (or white wine glasses), a kitchen knife, chill the bottle down in the freezer for 10 minutes and then step out on the deck. If you don\u2019t know how, message me and I\u2019ll be happy to help!<\/div>\n

New Year\u2019s Eve bubbles<\/strong>\u00a0really save the best for the last. This year is no exception. Grab a bottle of something pink, something vintage and spend a few bucks.\u00a0Goodbye 2020<\/strong>! And what better way to say \u201cHello 2021<\/strong>\u201d than with France\u2019s finest. Champagne is preferred. This is also your second chance to saber!<\/p>\n

Ashli Komaryk from\u00a0Beyond the Wine<\/a>\u00a0and I had a conversation about bubbles and options for the holidays. What\u2019s important to remember is: there are lots of options. This makes it easy to respect your budget and still enjoy fabulous bubbles<\/p>\n
