For the last nine years, I’ve hosted an annual girl’s wine club champagne and sparkling tasting. Usually this involves me recruiting my kind husband who cooks massive amounts of great food paired with very loud conversation, lots of catch up and of course bottles and bottles and bottles of sparkling wines and champagne.
Each year there seems to be one dominant brand — and 2013 was the year of Perriet Jouet, which was ironic because that trend continued on a carriage ride a few days later with friends. Someone asked me if I was ready to blog about everything we tasted – the memorable and not so memorable. While I got some good content for an upcoming Culture Map article about sparkling wines, my answer was no. I love blogging and I love writing Dallas Wine Chick, but this was a time for friendship, good food, catching up and just being in the moment. Truly what the holidays are all about and if you approach it with a notebook in hand, you are going to miss what is really important.

And so, my dear readers and friends, put down your notebook and look up. That’s how memories are made. Cheers and happy holidays!
