“I drink it 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 when I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty.” - Madame Lilly Bollinger, on the uses and virtues of champagne.

Oh, wonderful poem. This year has been made memorable (for me) by the lovely art you've posted and the information you've given. Thank you for raising a lantern of light to my eager brain. Jeanne
