Mumm<\/strong>, makers of <em><strong>Mumm Cordon Rouge<\/strong><\/em>, established <strong>Mumm Napa<\/strong>.  Their astute private buyer&#8217;s club manager, Liz Mercer, contacted me the day after my last posting to <strong>offer my readers<em> a discount!<\/em><\/strong>   How cool! They have fantastic methode champenois sparkling wines priced from $20 to $65, all offered on their website, with discounted shipping on gift sets until December 16th.<\/p>\n<p>I like their Blanc de Noirs ($20) and their prestige cuvee is called DVX.  They also are getting into the still wine business because they have substantial vineyards of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2007\/12\/mumm-napa.bmp\" title=\"mumm-napa.bmp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2007\/12\/mumm-napa.bmp\" alt=\"mumm-napa.bmp\" align=\"right\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So take a visit to  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mummnapa.com\/\">www.mummnapa.com<\/a>  and check them out.

You can also join their Club Vivant for more offers.<\/p>\n<p>There have been numerous quotes throughout history about Champagne.  Purportedly, when Dom Perignon took the first ever sip of sparkling wine, he called out to his fellow monks  <em>&#8220;Come Brothers, I am drinking stars!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But my favorite is from Lily Bollinger, when she was asked &#8220;When do you drink Champagne?&#8221;  Her now classic response:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I only drink Champagne when I&#8217;m happy, and when I&#8217;m sad.  Sometimes I drink it when I am alone.  When I have company, I consider it obligatory.  I trifle with it if I am not hungry and drink it when I am.  Otherwise, I never touch it &#8211;<\/em><em> unless I am thirsty.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now you are aware that several of the big Champagne Houses of France branched out to California many years ago.
