We ordinarily don’t drop fat cash on wine. But for champagne, we splurge. Why? Because when we drink champagne, we are celebrating. And, we at G@H get serious about celebration. If it’s worth toasting, it’s worth a little luxury. Don’t get it twisted: we’re not ordering bottles of Dom Perignon. First, it’s not that great. Second, it shatters the ideal price point. You can secure a mighty excellent champagne for around $50. We recently marked a loved one’s work milestone with a bottle of Taittinger Brut Réserve. It’s pleasantly crisp and dry with light hints of peach and honey. The logo features an armored knight. Also, the bottle comes in a styling box. We bought it for $40 at Costco. All boxes, checked. Of course, if can’t find anything else, you can get a whole bunch of Mum’s.
