Lets Bust a Bottle of Champ Together

So what does YG drink when he’s romancing or just maintaining his sexy? U guessed it right, Champán! This bubbly beverage invented by French monks is not just a drink, but it’s a way of life. When I visited the Champagne Region in France a few months back, all I could see were couples casually sippin’ crushed grapes and enjoying the nice weather. After visiting the Moet & Chandon headquarters in Épernay, it clicked in my head that I had it all wrong. As they broke down the culture to me I began to understand that Champ was not meant to be sprayed on each other at parties… It was made to be enjoyed! So, after research and hours of taste testing :-), I’ve found a few Champs that I truly enjoy.

Pol Roger

Pol Roger was the favorite champagne of Winston Churchill. They produced champ in pint bottles, solely for Churchill to consume. Pol Roger Brut is dry with a roasted scent that will titillate your palate. It’s good to pair Roger with white meat or a fish dish. If you are going the dessert route….pair it with something creamy…

Veuve Clicquot

Veuve Clicquot is my favorite champ. I drink it when I want to celebrate, get buzzed, or just kick it with friends. Veuve is actually really good when you pair it with sushi or appetisers. I don’t enjoy it so much with a meal, but it’s still a good choice when you want to “maintain your sexy”.

Piper Sonoma Blanc De Noir

Now my friends from France would kill me for endorsing a Sparking Wine from Cali, but Piper Sonoma is that “crack”… It’s creamy yet very fruity. If you did an episode of cribs at my house Piper is in the fridge next to the grape drink. -) The Blanc De Noir is a delightful champ that you can enjoy anytime. I would really recommend pairing it with chocolate… 😉
At the end of the day, it comes down to what you like to drink. Don’t be afraid to try something new that’s part of the joy of drinking champagne.
