Napolean said, "In victory you deserve Champagne, and in defeat you need it."
True story. There's nothing like a cold crisp glass of Methode Champenoise Cabernet Franc to turn the sting of a slap in the face to the dissociative comfort of "tomorrow's another day." To that end we’ve declared these bubbles be popped in celebration of life’s minor catastrophies and indignities.
I’ve always liked that cowboy trope of the cathartic drunk: Today on the cattle drive you lost your favorite cow. So tonight you’re gonna get a little sad, have a couple cathartic cocktails, maybe participate in the big cowboy brawl at the saloon, and tomorrow, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you’re gonna get out there and find that cow! or at least pick a new favorite. Boy if that don’t sum it all up tho, #cowboywisdom
You’ll cowboy up in the mornin.
So sit back, sip, and smile. Life's a pain in the ass, but you're drinking really excellent Sparkling Wine.
The one currently in your mitts is Brut Nature, Zero Dosage, (read: bone dry and ultra-premium) this sparkler is the result of 3+ years on the yeasties. It's not a Fruity Pebbles pet-nat, it's a Champagne wanna-be of the highest California quality. There's many years of love in this wine, and you're gonna need it all.
