Sorry about the lack of posts for the last few weeks. Things have been slightly busy on this end with birth of the new vintage release of Claire Margaret last week.

Having read about the French tradition of touching Champagne to the lips of new born babies in “Love by the Glass: Tasting Notes from a Marriage,” written by Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher, we decided to do the same with a bottle of Henriot Champagne Brut Souverain. This is a fruit forward Champagne with a touch of traditional Champagne yeast.
