A Bottle of Bubbles from Back Home
If you have loved ones far away and would like to share wine with them, shipping is not the only answer. Good thing, because it’s illegal to ship to many states, plus there’s the extra cost and worry that the wines could freeze in the winter or cook in the summer.
I bring this up as my sweet mom called me last week, trying to be sneaky, asking what wine I would buy for someone within a given price range. Turns out, she wanted to get me a bottle for Valentine’s. Well, I finally took advantage of her generous offer, via the Bevmo website. I found the wine online, she paid, and I picked it up the next day. This could also have been done by phone, for those areas without internet-savy stores.
As for my bottle, my mom had mentioned sparkling, and I’m never one to turn down bubbles. I tried to think of something I wouldn’t normally buy myself, so I got the Moet & Chandon White Star. It’s one of those wines everyone knows, and I know I had some ages ago, but can’t really remember what I thought. Although after going to see Legally Blonde last night, in its final week before heading to Broadway (and finding it unexpectedly funny and smart), I’m thinking I should have gone for some pink bubbles. Elle certainly would….
But I’m happy with my selection. Thanks again, Mom!
