On Saturday, my husband and I thought we should watch the US vs UK World Cup match - rarely do we get to see our two home countries in competition. We settled in for the game with a bottle of champagne that some friends gave us (thank you!), Guillaume de Gand Brut Reserve. This champagne is a blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. It was much heavier than what we've been drinking lately, with a rich taste of hazelnuts and bubbles galore! It's definitely a go-with-food champagne, good thing I had a piece of flourless chocolate cake from one of my favourite local restaurants to nibble with it.
The game wasn't as good as the champagne, although I suspect the viewing experience would have been much different in the US. My favourite part was the commericals, the best one being from a newspaper with the tag line of 'Maybe, just maybe'. People here seem to think it's a great ad, and I think it's funny that noone here really dares to believe the UK has a chance. I'm pretty sure the US commericals were all much more positive about who would be triumphant!!
