The most ridiculously entertaining story from last week had to be hip-hopster Jay-Z getting all bent out of shape after a marketing guy from the makers of Cristal didn’t send out enough love, essentially saying the house didn’t too much care for the rap/hip hop crowd in da house… Jay Z is leading a boycott of that high-end bubbly…
I think POP… the cleverly packaged Champagne from Pommery (pop stands for Product of Pommery)… might be a good alternative choice. It’s a little lighter, slightly fruitier than the typical brut… and you can buy it in a four pack, which comes with straws. Shocking! Well, not exactly. Coppola came out with a similar sipper a few years ago. Hey, you’ve got to give newbies an alternative to Mike’s Hard Lemonade!!
I tried POP (without the straw) and it was pretty darned tasty. What do you think? Is Champagne something that’s best reserved for special occasions? Can you see yourself sipping it through a straw?

Champagne is definitely NOT just for special occasions! You can get perfectly good bottles for the same price as wine, so why wait?
And I have to tell on my sweet husband. On our recent vacation (first one without the kiddo), he brought a couple of the Sofia cans of champagne in a ziploc bag filled with ice to surprise me on the plane. He knows his girl loves the bubbly! (And, no, we didn’t use the straws — I think that’s just a cute gimmick.)

You know it’s hard out here for a pimp/When you’re trying to get money for your POP…
I dunno–it lacks a certain something. Besides the rhyme scheme, I mean.
