FEBRUARY 2013
Champagne and Valentine’s. Champagne, of course, is the best option for a Valentine’s Day gift. A card is not enough no matter how beautifully worded. Jewellery is a bit of a cliché and easy to get wrong. Flowers are even more of a cliché unless you include a bottle of Champagne. Dinner in a nice restaurant only works if you start and finish the night with Champagne. Chocolate without Champagne is just a box of chocolates. So Champagne it is. The difficult part is deciding which Champagne. One suggestion is; about a week before Valentine’s Day, drop into your nearest Glengarry and pick up half a dozen or so different Champagnes. Take them home, try them all with your loved one and choose your favourite. Then you’ll know exactly what to buy on the day. If you still can’t decide, then buy vintage Champagne. For reasons unknown we don’t drink much vintage Champagne in New Zealand. This is a shame, for a few extra dollars you can pick up vintage Champagnes with incredible elegance and depth. Let’s leave the non-vintage Champagne for Mother’s Day, Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve. Another option is to buy a magnum of Champagne; nothing says “I love you” like a magnum. Magnums look impressive and there is way more Champagne for you to drink too.
Purchase any of these four bubblies from Glengarry during February and go in the draw to win a Venessa Arizaga necklace – all the rage in New York!
Of course you’ll need to buy some Riedel flutes to go with the Champagne. There will be a couple of Champagnes open on Valentine’s Day at Glengarry Newmarket, so come in and see us. We will sort you out with the perfect gift.
