My husband gave this to me on our first Christmas together......this would be December, 2011. We had gotten engaged just a few days before.....and the note inside said, "To drink on our 10th Christmas together."
Well, this was it. : ) It's hard to believe it's been ten years. As he would say, "The longest ten years of my life."
He's so funny. Don't you think? : )
We were pretty worn out by the time Christmas day evening rolled around, so we decided to enjoy our bottle on the 26th.
I did a little research to see what kind of food would be complementary to champagne.
Keep in mind that we are on a budget.
Besides super fancy food (think snails or caviar), my research indicated that fried food would enhance the flavor--or the notes, as the articles put it--of our champagne.
So.....we chose a sampling of White Castle's fine fried foods. White Castle opened about 3/4 of a mile away from us about six months ago. And this is the first time we have patronized it. They have some breakfast sandwiches that look killer.
I must say, the taste of the champagne was quite unlike any other I've had. It was not very sweet....definitely a sparkling wine, I guess. Can you tell I'm quite the connoisseur of champagnes?
Somewhere, I'm sure a wine snob is throwing up his or her mouth a little bit. I don't care....it was perfect.
Here's to the next ten.....: )
