FINE Champagne Magazine!

Anyone else think it’s awesome that they have a magazine specifically for Champagne? Really, I love champagne and I have luved it since I was about 6 years old.. yea, don’t tell, and know lots of others who do also. It’s perfect with caviar and for celebrations of all types. And now there’s a magazine to help all of us idiots figure out what’s good, what’s bad, and what to do with it in the world of champagne!

Amazing, you get a copy of FINE Champagne Magazine when you buy a Bentley or a Maybach, when you get an American Express Platinum Card, or when you go to any Les Sources de Caudalie Spas around the world!

Great articles in the most recent issue of Champagne Magazine include “Decanting Champagne,” “Champagne Auctions,” and “Champagne as an Investment.”

Champagne Investment

At a price of 80 Euros for delivery outside Europe it’s a bit pricey for just a quick flip through.. than again, I think they are looking for a reading audience that wouldn’t miss a few grand if it just disappeared.

It would be amazing if FINE Champagne Magazine would send me a free subscription.
I promise I’ll share with all the rich people I know in NYC and Miami. I know several that LUV Champagne and would LUV to read it if they knew your magazine existed.

Raisin Bran Crunch

Raisin Bran Crunch

Not really much to say about this but I was at the grocery store and saw this stuff on sale cause it was new. Raisin Bran Crunch turned out ot be pretty tasty. Kinda a cross between raisin bran and honey bunches of oats, which are, next to lucky charms, probably my favorite Cereals.  So yea, Luv That.
