How do you remove the veil of champagne is only.And especially organic champagne is only good for, you know, the new year or weddings or hey, we won the Super Bowl.

David Aferiat

So the way to, to, you know, the way to get past champagne as a special, you know, occas is that is the following. It's one of our mantras, right? So one of our first mantra was about these champagnes. You know, may the reward merit the routine is what we say a lot.And these champagnes are that reward for a good elevated.If your routine is to sit around and watch reality TV on the couch, there's a lot of other rewards that are way less expensive that you can reward that routine. But if you've got a high level curated wellness routine, these are the rewards for it because it helps you the next day. You haven't skipped a beat.The other mantra that we have related to special occasions is that you can't wait for a special occasion. Because too many times in my life it's passed me by. It's like, okay, it's here. And then like, oh my God, I forgot to bring out this amazing.What I wanted to share. And waiting for special occasions is not, is not the answer. You're the special occasion.But there are times maybe like on a Tuesday where you have Indian takeout and yet you need to, you know, you want to elevate Indian takeout on a Tuesday night, bring out the plates and put out, you know, your Indian takeout and serve one of these champagnes in particular, the Cart Dark Pearl or from Andre Tessier or the, the Brute Classique from Raflin du Pitre. And my goodness, that Indian takeout will have never, you know, been elevated as high as, as this moment.And the champagnes just play on these amazing flavors, right?So you have curries and tiki, you know, massaman, and you have the amazing kind of in, in these particular champagnes, the two I just mentioned, there's a strong green apple, baked green apple, kind of tart and, and rh just cling to these flavors and then, and, and make them sing. And when you're. This is the other thing we do, we, we bust a lot of myths about champagne. Champagne is not a cocktail. I'm sorry.I mean you can drink it like that, but you're not doing it the way it's intended.It's much better paired with food and frankly, it can pair with every dish along, you know, in in a meal because you still have all those flavors of the wine, but the effervescence is actually helping you clean your palate with every drink. It just makes the food more interesting longer as you extend the meal.The first steps and next steps really just come to appadvines.com let's engage in a conversation.
