A Sparkling Spring Night

This is the way to celebrate a Thursday night!

We were fortunate to host Veuve Clicquot and friends at the Cabin for a special Vintage tour with an exquisite multi-course dinner by Rumi’s Kitchen. The weather was perfect for an evening of great fun as we sampled some excellent vintage champagnes paired with Chef Bobby’s Persian delicacies.

Geraud LeClercq and winemaker Pierre Casenave of Veuve Clicquot joined us to share stories about Madame Clicquot and the history behind the famed champagne house.  We tried several amazing champagnes but the 85 Rose was my favorite.

Since Pierre was kind enough to share his insights from the palate, I thought I would share some from my palette. . . this is my latest piece inspired by a great night with neighbors and friends.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, especially  Karen & Randall Heard of the Marietta Wine Market and our friends at Veuve Clicquot for putting this spectacular event together.
