On the Fifth Date of Christmas, my true love brought to me…not five golden rings, but a bottle of five million (give or take) golden bubbles–Champagne Krug Grande Cuvee. Krug is better than bling, at least to me. It’s a special-occasion wine. Or, it is the occasion. It’s sommelier catnip–we can’t resist it, we want […]
