{take me away № 18 | a glamorous guide to champagne, part 2}

Some say there is an indescribable magic and poetry in the very experience and effervescence—the way the delicious bubbles gracefully float within the flute, almost like a theatrical dance . . . a dance in celebration of new memories and old; for future moments that captivate, for new marriages just beginning, for an exciting graduation, for a touching anniversary, for the promise of a fresh, new year. They remind of the beautiful joys in life to cherish and hold onto, always. A champagne occasion relies on feeling and experience, and for one to revel and linger in the moment for as long as possible.



And as we celebrate love in all of its essence this Valentine's Day—be it love for dear friends and family, or your significant other—our hearts overflow with happiness for the simple and wonderful opportunity to love and be loved.



And so, today, let's discover how this beautiful golden elixir came about, explore its fascinating history, and tour three unforgettable wineries, as well as look at tips & ideas on how best to enjoy a glass . . .

"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures."

— Thornton Wilder

. . . this note began in a lovely little place just before dinner, a glass of wine and a dashing companion, and this weekend has been a dream-filled tumble of lovely things: friday evening dinner {a delectable shrimp & crab salad made of butter lettuce, chives, cherry tomatoes, and avocado}, terraces and {perfectly ghastly} eighties films, fluttery silk dresses and shimmery bare golden shoulders, morning walks and easy conversations, late, late nights and summer stars . . .

hope you've had an astonishingly wonderful weekend and that it was beautiful where you are, roséline xo
