The Best Drink Of Them All Is...

CHAMPAGNE (include sparkling wine in here)!!! Don't get me wrong, I love all wine, spirits, beers, etc. New World, Old World, White Red, Inexpensive, Overpriced, Single Malt, Blended, Sour Mash, Pilsner, Stout, Porter, Lager, Single-distilled, Double-distilled, etc. I love it all. But, Champagne is the single most adaptable beverage on the planet. It is a perfect aperitif. Makes a great cocktail (Kir Royal, Bucks Fizz). Goes very well with a large variety of food. Great with dessert. And best of all... it makes you SMILE! The general public in the US seems to have the idea that Champagne is for celebrating - and celebrating only. Champagne makes every day worth celebrating. The bubbles make you smile... Champagne doesn't get you drunk (although the hangover the next morning might tell you otherwise)... it makes you high on life! I can always drink a glass of Champagne. Let's just not drink it only for celebrating... go out and buy or open a bottle of Champagne tonight - it's worth it for the smile!
