How are you ringing in the New Year? Are you planning on celebrating with a delightful glass of Champagne or perhaps a sparkling wine and hopes for a brighter 2010?

It was a brut and only $12 but it was bad.” Interesting comment as many people drink champagne during the holidays. How much should you spend for a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine? I […]
