HAPPY CHAMPAGNE THURSDAY!
The Background: This tradition - originally started by Corey and myself when we were roomies - happens on every Thursday (as its title implies). It doesn't matter how you rock it, as long as it involves Champagne (or as I like to call it cham-pag-na... classy, I know). While we cannot take the credit for the idea - (the fabulous and talented Zooey Deschanel mentions it in the movie Failure to Launch) - we are the well-dressed geniuses who turned that fantasy into a much-enjoyed reality. Invite friends over to join, sip by yourself while watching TV... it doesn't matter what you're doing - just add champagne and enjoy the fact that you're young and alive. Its a little bit of middle-of-the-week fancy that everyone needs.
Chee-ahs!

The Evening's Plan: This week is our inaugural Champagne Thursdays, and personally, I don't think there could be a better week to kick it off - as it is the week of fall premiere's and the week pitched by abc as National Stay-At-Home week. Personally, I'll be glued to the tv watching Grey's Anatomy while my dvr does its wonders and records The Office for me to watch later.
So this week we're focusing our combined champagne efforts into the luxury of your home couches. Maybe you're going to have all your girlfriends over to watch the drama in Seattle Grace, or you're going over to your buddy's to giggle along with Michael and the workers of Dunder Mifflin, or you're doing both at home alone. In any case, Christine and I think it's a great night to go to your liquor store, grocery store, or refrigerator and pop open a bottle of the bubbly! I know we will be!

And may we suggest....
- Christine's week favorite: Korbel Brut Rose... its 12.5% alcohol and its a little bit fruitier than your average champagne. Goes very well with chocolate. A fun fact: the first bottle was designed by Nicole Miller as part of their limited edition artist series
- Corey's week favorite: Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvee Chardonnay Champagne... I choose this one becasue it reminds me of both Grey's and The Office, in previous seasons. If you're a fan of The Office, you'll remember the time Michael burned his foot on his George Foreman while barefoot, and if you're a fan of Grey's, the time the foot went missing in Seattle Grace. Perhaps not the sexiest of thoughts one could conjure up when speaking of champagne, but I figure it's supposed to be themed, and this is mine.
