inRegister’s 30th anniversary:
2009 Dom Pérignon  Brut Champagne 

Life’s major milestones deserve the world-famous Dom Pérignon Champagne. It’s expertly crafted with a delicate blend of the finest chardonnay and pinot noir grapes from the Champagne region of France, just a fun train ride from Paris. With aromas of marzipan and lemon meringue, Dom glides gracefully into a delicious dimension of ripe fruit flavors—pineapple confit, orange peel mousse and apricot marmalade—all tucked away gently into a brioche biscuit. Plus, it’s long on the finish and an absolute dream to pair.

Dom Pérignon released its latest vintage, the 2009, while the 2008 remained in the cellar. Fresh from their cellars in Epernay, the ’09 vintage of Dom is now on the wine list at Sullivan’s Steakhouse, where it pairs perfectly with the Pan-Seared Chilean Sea Bass “Hong Kong Style.” Or for an elegant dinner for two, spin the bottle gently from the cork, then offer a toast to your guest. If you believe in magic, romance and a thousand bubbles bursting from the bottle, then Le Dom, you and your guest will have a good night.

Toast at your wedding:
Veuve Clicquot Champagne

The instantly recognizable orange label hallmarks the exquisite bubbles that lie within—biscuits and honeysuckle bubbles in a steady pointed stream. Veuve is cool, fun and festive.

Baby’s baptism:
