Loving Sparkling Wine
Episode Notes
A note from Stephanie...
My Sparkling Wine class has been one of my most popular class themes over the last couple of years...mostly because wine lovers are finally realizing all of the bubbly options that are now available.
From a extra brut to a demi sec, white to rosé and everything in between - there is a sparkling wine to suit your palate and your price point.
...and I am even going to share some food pairing ideas that you may not have thought of before!

Bonus Recipes
This is the time of year that you should start thinking about getting AHEAD in your food prep schedule for the holiday entertaining season.
Here are two of my favourite crockpot recipes that can be made ahead and if wrapped well, can be stored in the freezer for a few weeks.
You may need one of these recipes for a potluck or when you're too busy trimming the tree...
...and for those who want to make that salmon rillette that I served in this episode or the cocktails that I referred to...
French 75
1 Part Gin
1/2 Part Lemon Juice
1/2 Part Simple Syrup
Champagne
1 Twist Lemon
Fill a shaker with ice cubes. Add gin, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake and strain into a
chilled champagne glass. Top up with champagne. Garnish with lemon.
Champagne Cocktail
1 sugar cube
Angostura bitters
Champagne
Lemon or orange twist, for garnish
1/3 oz cognac
Soak the sugar cube in Angostura bitters and drop into a champagne flute. Top with the cognac and champagne. Garnish with a lemon or orange twist.
