October 23, World Champagne Day!

As many of you know, I’m a big fan of the bubbly, and Champagne — the real deal — has no equal.

Friday, October 23rd, 2015 is the sixth annual celebration of the effervescent wine, made exclusively in the Champagne region of France. Originally designated in 2009 as “a Friday in late October,” World Champagne Day is dedicated to popping corks and raising glasses. International law dictates that only sparkling wine that comes from Champagne can be called… Champagne. So respect the title, friends!

A little while ago, I created an entire full-length Tamara Twist episode to sparkling wine, which you can view on YouTube. The episode is chock-full of recipes, crafting, traditions and trivia.

If you only have a few minutes, check out my Champagne Sabering video here.

So let’s drink a toast to World Champagne Day! 

Enjoy!!
