“Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.” – Mark Twain
I’ll second that! Champagne is the quintessential drink that we celebrate victories, special occasions and even memorials with. Nothing sets the mood quite like a bottle of bubbly. December is a month long celebration of friends, family and holiday memories in the making and The French Winophiles are preparing some special food and wine pairings to help you celebrate. This month we are virtually touring Champagne, France and I can’t wait to see what the group has come up with.
If you are interested in sharing your favorite Champagne pairings, email me at culinarydiva@icloud.com by Monday, December 14th with your post title. We will have a live Twitter Chat on Saturday, December 19, 2015 at 8am PST/11amEST – join us using #Winophiles.
Until then, here is a preview of one of my favorite Champagne pairings that takes literally no time to make and sets a festive mood for the holidays!
- 1 jar of black caviar
- 8 oz container of crème fraiche
- 1 bag of your favorite potato chips
- Place crème fraiche in a bowl and gently top with caviar. Serve with potato chips & champagne.
It’s going to be a Champagne kind of December between this and Wine PW….bring on the bubbly.
So many people chose a nice champagne! What a fancy, classic pairing. If there’s anytime to break out the caviar and champagne, it’s the holidays.
