Okay, so I know this is not in recent news but maybe you might have already heard that back in 2010, Dom Perignon did a collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation and produced a limited amount of colorful bottles as a tribute to the famous pop artist. And let me tell you, they are beautiful!
On another colorful side note, graduation is near! Today I officially registered for my commencement ceremony. June 17th, I have my eye on you!
Champagne is awesome because its sparkly, festive, and can be used to celebrate any special occasion. Oh, and if you're ever wondering what to get me as a gift, (wink wink)... I wouldn't be opposed to a bottle of this bubbly! ;)

“The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine’s volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off. Geoffroy describes the vintage as very ripe and adds that some of the Chardonnay showed the ill-effects of the hot growing season in it the somewhat burned, dehydrated fruit that came in that year. This bottle was disgorged in July, 2009. To be released summer 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2032”

You are proving to be an expensive little soon-to-be college grad with very good taste!
ReplyDeleteThe colorful Dom is very pretty...
