Seems fitting that we start our journey with something we drink fairly often. To enjoy a bottle of bubbly, you have to shell out for a bottle of Dom, right? Hardly. Treasa and I enjoy champagne that, on the sweet-to-dry scale, falls pretty far towards the latter. And if we could find something that doesn’t cost us an arm and a leg, perfect. (Or else how would we walk to the wine fridge and pop the cork?) Domaine Ste Michelle fits the palatable-affordable description perfectly.
I usually pick up a bottle or two of DSM – I/we don’t actually call it that…it just seemed appropriate to type at the time – normally for about $11-$12. Does it taste like a really good bottle of champagne? No. But you could do a whole lot worse at this price point.
Typically champagne is called on for a celebration of sorts. Today was no different. Treasa and I are getting married at the end of June. Today, give or take a day or so, marks 9 weeks to go. Plus the cake, and champagne seemed appropriate. The cakes you see pictured were, past tense at this point as they didn’t last long, the wedding cake samples from Liz Marden. The heart shaped champagne flutes were complimentary from when we registered at Crate and Barrel.
