Gearing up for the big matchup on Sunday, you might be thinking “beer.” But Wine Harlots are thinking sparkling. Champagne is an elegant quaff, a smooth counterpoint all the gridiron roughness. Which Champagne to drink? Here’s a few that have curried favor with the Wine Harlots. After all, Napoleon Bonaparte said of Champagne, “In victory you deserve it, in defeat you need it.”
Bring chocolate dipped strawberries to your Superbowl party. A perfect pairing for the Champagne, and if you’re chanelling your inner Martha Stewart, pipe them so they look like little footballs. If you’re a fumble-fingers like the Wine Harlots, order them from Sheri’s Berries so the cute little strawberry footballs willl be perfect for kick off.

Did not think of Champagne for ‘after’ the game, but will now make sure there is a nice NEW YORK bubbly on hand. We are opening only NEW YORK wines during the day, because “Eli’s a-comin”
I love this post. And thanks for finding the football design, fabulous! I always suggest chocolate dipped strawberries with our bubbly!! You might also appreciate “Good in Bed” Brut Rosé from Hard Row to Hoe Vineyards in Washington State. Check out the Valentine’s day special on it now, http://wineshop.hardrow.com/good-in-bed-valentines-special-p56.aspx .
I am the winemaker and owner. Cheers.
To each he’s own — I think the pairing totally scores a touchdown!
Thanks Judy!
I’ll be sure to check out your wines — clearly Harlots and Hoe’s seem like a match made in heaven.
All the best,
