In 1814, Europe was still paralyzed by war & trade blockades. She secretly chartered a Dutch ship to smuggle >10,000 bottles of her 1811 "Comet Vintage" directly to St. Petersburg. Russian nobility went wild for it. She effectively cornered the Russian market ahead of all her French competitors.

A TOAST!

Great movie

And we are better for her inspiration.

I gotta few bottles that are waiting for an official announcement from faux news, CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS. So thank you Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin.

She was amazing.

There’s a terrific movie about her: The Widow Clicquot (2023) Watch for free on Tubi or YouTube

Hooray! Finally a day I can celebrate!

Against extreme misogyny and patriarchy, she managed to acquire independent business status as a widow, which French law allowed, then. With her cellar master, she worked on the biochemical reactions to purify imperfections of champagne.

I keep a bottle is the fridge for the great day! I’ll think of her then too!

Wouldn't it have been great if World Champagne Day had fallen on....never mind.

So, in this post about a riddling process I have read all the comments and there are no riddles. ☹️

I am indebted to Madame Clicquot. Saving this for a special day! www.totalwine.com/wine/champag...
