New Year's Eve

As you know, today is the last day of 2008.  With guests staying with us here at The Craftsman B&B, we won't get to crazy.  We will go over to Twist Wine for their champagne tasting.  In addition to the regular wines they pour visitors, Chenin has selected a few bottles of bubbles for tastings.  She has worked in champagne houses before so she knows a thing or two about the sparkling wine.  

Chenin is also an expert in opening a bottle so the pressure just barely releases, known as a nun's fart.  If you pop the cork, you loose the bubbles, who wants that?

On the total opposite of the "fart," Sean is an expert of sabering a bottle.  He uses a special knife, runs it up to the neck of the bottle and breaks the bottle open.  The cork goes flying with the ring of the bottle attached.  Quite a show.

So come on down to our sleepy beach town of Pacific City and ring in the new year.  You can learn about sparkling wine too.
