I will never understand why so many wine enthusiasts resist popping the corks on bottles of sparkling wines or champagne unless they are celebrating a special occasion or the end of the year. It’s a shame, really, since these wines are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of foods as well as being swell on their own. Famed author and bon vivant, F. Scott Fitzgerald, once proclaimed, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right.”
