Big bubbly has some epic names

750mL (75cl, represented below) is the standard size for a bottle of wine. But as wineries bottle up the bubbly in larger volumes, there are names that correlate with each specific size. I certainly got a kick out of this:

I almost want a large bottle of Champagne like this, just so I can say I sport jeroboam or even a Salmanazar in the kitchen. Now that's boss.

(Names sound familiar? The names are actually biblical characters). I think I will name my next pet Nebuchadnezzar, what do you think? hehe ;)

Cheers,

Five things--All Things Bubbly

This week was filled with lab reports, quizzes, long hours of winery work on campus:  punch-downs and pump-overs, yeast inoculations, grape-pressings, Brix readings, wine showers (I literally sprayed my TA all-over with Grenache...haha oops!), a trip to the doctor (cold season came early this year)... I definitely experienced some highs and lows this week. But I’m ready for a carefree weekend, which I hope can include lots of catching-up on rest and chillaxing. :) 

I thought a post with five things to feel bubbly about would be a good way to celebrate the weekend. These images are ones I found on Pinterest that have served as inspiration. 

Happy weekend!
