welcome to my homage to food & wine (and likely other forms of booze). consider it an aggregator for all that has struck me, be it a recipe, image, article, review. i hope you enjoy this magnificent world seen through my humble & hungry eyes. cheers.
decanting champagne? WTH? the french are advocating decanting champagne? did i fall back to an alt reality last nite compliments of close proximity to salem on halloween? was it the champagne fueled tour of boston’s freedom trail that has left me a wee bit fuzzy brained? or do mine eyes can see the glory of champagne served in larger white wine glasses?
don’t get me wrong, i LOVE nothing more than a gorgeously cut champagne flute. i collect them even. they instantly plus up the glamour factor of any evening. particularly the really svelte, dangerously thin ones. but truth be told i enjoy drinking bubbly out of larger glasses as well, perhaps even more. it is what i look forward to with relish when i visit batalli’s lupa or otto (or others, but those are my favorites). you get to play with the wine a bit more. enjoy it a bit more. it feels decadent to drink such a sophisticated drink out of a more ordinary glass.
the decanting i’ll have to get used to, but support larger pours of champagne! er. i mean using larger glasses.
click thru to visit dr vino’s blog replete with video of charles heidsieck pouring via decanter into larger white wine glasses.
is it so wrong that i want champagne now? at 8am?
