The festive season is here, and after a year of ups and downs (mostly downs, if we’re honest) it’s time to plan your holiday time and crack open a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate coming this far! We’re drinking sparkling wine or Methode Cap Classique this year in support of our local wine producers.
