With New Year's Eve on the horizon, we've been thinking. There must be something to pour on NYE with a little more panache than a table full of champagne bottles and gold foil rappers. So, we enlisted the help of our friends at Spiaggia, and the restaurant's new Wine Director and Sommelier Jason Carlen. Jason shared with us a champagne cocktail perfect for the poshest parties, a.k.a. yours. And if you happen to sample a few pracitice pours before the guests arrive, we'll just keep that between us.
