An Evening of Pleasure with Krug Champagne

Written by Allison Levine on May 30, 2019
Lifestyle Wine

Drinking a glass of Krug Champagne is aspirational, sitting down for a dinner of Krug Champagne is beyond my wildest dreams. But, my dreams came true as I enjoyed a delicious meal at 71 Above in downtown LA, paired with more than a dozen bottles of Krug Champane which I wrote about in the Napa Valley Register and am sharing here.

Exclusive. Aspirational. Hedonistic. Revered. Indulgent. Pleasure. These are just some of the words that come to mind when I think about Krug Champagne. In fact, ask any Champagne collector, or lover, to name a brand that is respected the world over and they will likely answer Krug.

I have had the pleasure to taste Krug Champagne on a couple of occasions. Mind you, it was just a taste of the Grand Cuvee or the Rosé, but even with those tastes, I cherished every sip.

Highlights from Tales of the Cocktail 2013

As the 11th Annual Tales of the Cocktail took place this past July, it was my 5th journey to one of the world’s largest cocktail festivals. Bringing together industry professionals and cocktail enthusiasts from around the world, Tales of the Cocktail is made up of hundreds of events including seminars, tastings, Spirited Dinners, cocktail competitions and parties. There are so many things to do and it’s impossible to do everything. Even when trying to pick and chose carefully, schedules fill up fast and no matter how hard we try, we still were running from event to event.  Here are the highlights from our 2013 trip.

Day 1:

The Perfect Respite by Perfect Purée of Napa Valley – What a perfect way to start the day – with Perfect Puree smoothies, hangover helpers, antioxidant nibbles and massages. We were relaxed and at peace, ready to face the day.

 

Auchentoshan Whisky & Whiskers – From breakfast, we were whisked away on a Pedi Cab to Aidan Gill for Men for an Auchentoshan dram, a cocktail and a hand massage. Going from one massage to another was definitely a treat but the best part were the Auchie Highballs with Auchentoshan Classic, cucumber soda and RX Auchie bitters.
