• I  found a champaigne that I enjoy.  That is rare for me to like champaign.  Shramsburg Cremant Demi-Sec and J. Schram Brut Reserve.  It is a sparkling wine that is made in the hills surrounding northern Napa Valley, CA.  Up until this time I had left the sparkling wing or champaign drinking to my wife and daughters.  The poem came out of a weekend party with family and friends.
