On Tuesday, I had jokingly asked my husband what to put on the champagne shelf for the next night's dinner. He told me to pick what I wanted, so I, of course, put in a bottle of Billecart-Salmon brut reserve. I didn't think we would actually drink it the next day, but then yesterday was another beautiful day, so we again celebrated the weather. Dinner was satisfying, but nothing special - chicken stir-fried with chorizo, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, spinach and chickpeas, served with rice. The champagne was fantastic with it, loads of bubbles and a tart, clean finish that cut through all of the flavours in the meal. It's like eating a crisp, just-picked apple off of a tree in autumn - juicy, not-too-sweet, and fresh.
But I have left the champagne shelf empty in anticipation of an upcoming BYOBB...I need room in the fridge for all of those bottles...
