ok. it's time to get back to the original mission of this blog...

our topic of discussion:
why do american's only use champagne as a toasting device?

some nonvintage ones are just as good as their vintage (read: expensive)
brethren
and quite frankly, these can be a wonderful compliment to any meal

well, not ham...but then again, nothing really goes with ham anyway.
