I am not a big food and wine snob, but over the years I have learned a few things about how to celebrate without spending a lot of money.  My biggest tip?  A champagne called Domaine St. Mchelle.

       Food and Wine magazines tout this champagne as being as good as Dom Perignon but considerably cheaper.  Where Dom willl run a hundred dollars a bottle or more, you can pick up Domain St. Michelle for around 20 dollars a bottle!  Enjoy, Happy New Year, and celebrate responsibly!
