Press For Champagne!

It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today I am sitting down with author Christopher Ruhland, author of Press for Champagne. 

Champagne is a wonderful thing. So wonderful, that there are many famous quotes. Coco Chanel stated “I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not.” Winston Churchill declared, Remember, gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fighting for, it’s champagne!” and Napolean announced “I drink champagne when I win, to celebrate… and I drink champagne when I lose, to console myself.” 

While I was studying to become a Champagne specialist, the one statement that was repeated over and over again was, “It’s not Champagne if it doesn’t come from Champagne.” So I thought it would be fun to sit down with Christopher; a self proclaimed Champagne lover and see what exactly makes Champagne so special to him. (and did you know that the meme about Press for Champagne is an actual sign! We’ll talk about where it is and I hope to get to push it one day for myself.
