Like a lot of Center Squarers, I tend to frequent Capitol Wine and Spirits for all of my wine and champagne purchases. The store location is convenient and they offer a wide arrange of delicious wines, separated by the country they're made in. According to Wiki, the countries that make the most wine, (in 2000), are: France, Italy, Spain, USA, Argentina, Germany, Australia, South Africa, Portugal, and Chile.

There is a little organic section, which is usually the first place I check for my favorite bottle of Shiraz. They also offer wine tasting every Friday night from 6 - 9pm. Caution: you may end up leaving with a lot more than expected!

Bollinger is my champage of choice when making my favorite breakfast beverage. So, when I saw this quote by Lily Bollinger in the window it brought a huge smile to my face!

Ohh how right she was:

"I drink champagne when I'm happy, and when I'm sad.
Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory.
I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and I drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it, unless I'm thirsty."
