New Year's Lesson

Happy New Year!  You thought I have disappeared? No, I have just had a slow start of the year for this blog, and I am catching up now.  The first lesson of the year, or the last one of last year, was actually related to how new year's eve is celebrated.  As preparations were made and having Champagne for midnight was expected, I was faced with sparkling white wine, and hence a discussion of it being or not being the same as Champagne!  Well, as it turns out, Champagne is the sparking white wine made from grapes of the Champagne region in France, and that is what makes it special because the French made this law!  So, that sparking white wine qualifies for celebrations!  Cheers!

p.s. Homework, what is the difference between Champagne and Prosecco
