On this snowy first day of the month, we\u2019ll pop the cork on a bottle of Charles de Cazanove Champagne<\/a> and raise a glass with high hopes for the next 28 days!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We admit to being happy hedonists, proud of our achievement to date, hoping to spread the word far-and-wide. What achievement? Read on \u2026<\/p>\n

Our Sparkling Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As we clinked our flutes of sparkling wine at the stroke of midnight to welcome 2008 \u2013 and promised to repeat the toast at the start of each month throughout the new year \u2013 we had no idea we would actually keep that resolution to this day!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While it seemed like a frivolous pledge at the time, we found ourselves looking forward to the first of every month. Searching out a bottle of cava, prosecco, cremant, or maybe a grower champagne for repeated celebrations during that year, always made us smile. Besides being an easy and pleasurable way to keep a resolution, it gave us a fresh way to start a new month, complete with a hopeful toast to whatever might lie ahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Join our Sparkling Resolution and reset your mojo by raising a glass of bubbly to greet each and every month. Salut!<\/p>\n

Now, a bit about this month\u2019s wine \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Charles de Cazanove Brut is a nicely balanced Champagne. We think it delivers a pleasant, yeasty, toastiness that works well with or without food. This sparkler can sit proudly next to some of our favorite Champagnes, including Bollinger and Piper-Heidsieck.<\/p>\n

Others Say \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe fine bubbles form a large string against a golden background. A fruity nose and delicious, persistent barley sugar and brioche flavours. A very lively wine.\u201d (Charles de Cazanove)<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Champagne … \u201chas a great, open nose of sweet butter and even a touch of orange peel. On the palate it is clean and refreshing.\u201d (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer) <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Champagne Charles de Cazanove Brut … \u201coffers an array of flavor, including toasted brioche, Gala apple, lemon zest, graphite and ginger, with a touch of honey. Elegant \u2026 good intensity \u2026 a moderate, nut-tinged finish.\u201d (92 points, Wine Spectator\/K&L Wines)<\/a><\/p>\n
