This is a special year for Michael. It&#39;s the tenth anniversary of Select Oyster, and he has been selected as a semi-finalist for the 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Northeast.

He said, &quot;Any nicer sparkling wine, I think, just works much better in a standard kind of wine glass rather than a flute, just because you get the aroma&#8230;&quot; &quot;When you&#39;re drinking great wine,&quot; he continued, &quot;I think it should be in a proper glass where you&#39;re going to get the full experience of the wine.&quot; This tip has added to our enjoyment of our monthly toasts for the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes and produced by different methods, adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007, we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonzest.com\/2015\/02\/join-us-as-we-toast-february-2015-with-charles-de-cazanove-champagne.html\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Our Sparkling Resolution is covered in this post : Join Us as We Toast&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonzest.com\/2014\/11\/a-few-of-our-favorite-gift-for-wine-lovers.html\" target=\"_self\">A Few of Our Favorite Gifts for Wine Lovers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonzest.com\/wine\/\" target=\"_self\">Here are all the wines we&#39;ve covered<\/a>.
